I wish i could go for 5 stars but less than 24hrs these were going stale. They do taste wonderful and were a joy to bake. They seem to be freezing very well as i have made another batch which i froze once cool. If eaten as soon as defrosted and warmed a little, they are just as wonderful as when first cooked.

    TO DIE FOR!!! Make these rolls. I used AP flour instead of bread flour. The dough is a dream to work with. It only took 3 and 3/4 cup of flour. The result is perfection, lightly crispy on the outside and soft, pillowy and fluffy on the inside. So good!! I can not make these too often or I will eat them all and get fat. Thanks for sharing this recipe.

    Marie, I have to tell you I thought I already found THE recipe for the perfect traditional rolls....that is until I tryed your recipe! After noticing the review/s on the recent review section, I was off to my kitchen to give this recipe a go...and WOW, these ARE simpley "to die for!". I made mine exactly as stated, only I used 3 cups all purpose flour and 1 cup of bread flour (next time I will use only all purpose) we are very lucky in Canada, our all purpose flour has a lot of gluten already in it, so there is really no need to use bread flour...I had about 1/4 cup of flour left over. I am on my second batch as I type, and will be making many many more of this wonderful roll recipe! I would really like to rate this way more than 5 stars, the buns came out so light and airy, and had a wonderful fluffy texture to them with a wonderful crust on top. I baked mine on an air-bake convection oven for 15 minutes. Marie I want to thank you so much for sharing such a wonderful recipe, this is now my favorite bun recipe!...Kittencal
