I don't have a thermometer, so how do I know when the milk is hot enough?
Nov 23, 2011. 7:09 PMkerri2357 says:
I don't have a thermometer either, so I just heated the milk slowly over medium-low heat and heated it with the butter in it. When the butter was just barely melted, I dripped a little of the mixture on the inside of my wrist (like testing a baby bottle). It should feel warm but not hot on your skin there. Too hot liquid will kill the yeast, so If it feels hot, let it cool a bit before you add the other stuff to it,

Good luck!

These were so good! This was my first time baking anything and I didn't even have a kitchen aid mixer. I was surprised at how easy it was!

thanks for the recipe! I've never made bread before (apart from cornbread!), this is a great recipe for a 'first timer'. They came out pretty good!

The best!

These are so easy and delicious. I forgot to add the butter until the dough was already starting to rise. I poured the melted butter on it in the bowl and tried to work it in as best I could and it still turned out delicious. I'm never buying rolls again. Thanks so much for sharing this great recipe.

Guess I'll save it and write it out by hand, since in order to get a printed copy you want me to become a member and pay you for the priveledge of being able to print it out. Otherwise I have to print out 10 pages.

You are awesome! It is really delicious!

Sometimes my family has to celebrate holidays early, this year it was Thanksgiving. I made two batches of these and everyone loved them. So I made them again tonight with dinner. I think I could make these every day.

One question though, if I were to leave the dough in one ball (not split up into individual rolls), would I be able to bake it up like a regular loaf of bread? Or would it not cook on the inside or burn on the outside?

I've made this 3 times using my bread machine and I LOVE it! I didn't have any milk though but I did have buttermilk, and the rolls had the most delicious tang, almost sourdough flavor.

Fantastic! I love to bake all kinds of breads and this is going to be a go to! I've been looking for a good roll recipe for quite sometime, so CHEERS to you!
Mar 3, 2011. 1:29 PMMercuryCrest says:
One question: With the butter, do you melt it, or use the biscuit method and work it into the flour while it's cold?
Mar 3, 2011. 8:42 PMCalorie says:
Good question. In this case melt it. And buy salt free butter. It's in the normal dairy aisle. You can add salt to the mixture during the process.
Mar 3, 2011. 12:13 PMSeaLion says:
Definitely gonna try this out once I have some time on my hands.
Though I have a lot of plain flour and bread flour seems quite expensive nowadays...is it ok to use plain flour?
Mar 3, 2011. 2:40 PMboocat says:
Bread flour has a higher gluten content, is all.
Mar 3, 2011. 8:41 PMCalorie says:
Yes, you can use plain flour. No discernible effects unless you bake a lot.
Mar 3, 2011. 4:20 PMdeedee808 says:
would these be similar to what you would get with white castles thx
Mar 3, 2011. 11:15 AMbobsbestgirl says:
that is a fantastic idea!!! I can't believe I never thought about that, thank you!
Mar 3, 2011. 10:24 AMAnyse1 says:
When I was in high school (many long years ago), there was the cafeteria cook (it was a very small school and we had the best meals there) and she made these. I have wanted a recipe like this one since then. Now, I have it. The taste, look and consistency is just as I remembered it! Thank you so much.
