I made these twice. The first time, they didn't rise much at all, so I started them in a cold oven. They looked like hockey pucks, but they were soft and biscuity, and tasted wonderful.
The second time, I let them rise 30 minutes for the first rise, and they came out very light and fluffy. We really enjoyed them. A nice last-minute roll--even if you don't make them right! Thanks for posting!

The flavor of these dinner rolls is excellent. I didn't used my food processor (we just don't get alone) so I made these with my Kitchen Aide. Dissolved the yeast and sugar (splenda) in the warm water. Added the milk salt and melted butter and mixed that well with the blade. Switched to the dough hook and added 4 cups of all purpose flour and it turned out wonderful. I gave it a little extra time to rise the second time, maybe 30 minutes. Light, airy, flavorful dinner rolls that I'll make again. Thanks Bayhill. Made for SSC Pet Parade.

I didn't have any problems with this recipe. I cut the recipe into 1/4 of the amounts, as there were only two of us, which made six rolls. I just loved the method for making these yeast rolls, so easy especially since I don't have a kitchen aide mixer. They raised nicely and were light and fluffy in the inside. Thanks Bayhill for a great quick recipe!!!!
