Bread is everyones favorite addition to a delicious dinner meal! Follow this recipe to see how I make the best dinner rolls.
Everyone needs a good dinner roll recipe! These are some rolls that my family has a couple times a month. My mom has made them since I was a little girl and continues to make them for me and my family. They are so yummy with butter on them or honey or jam is my sons favorite. But I think my favorite thing is eating them with ham and cheese the day after! They are perfect for Thanksgiving or any special occasion or if you want to impress someone!
Dinner rolls go with every meal and are even better when freshly made instead of store bought. Warm and fresh straight from the oven is the only way my family does rolls because they are just so delicious. I promise these will be so much better than any roll you will find in the store. As I mentioned above, my favorite thing to do is have them the day after when I make mini sandwiches out of them. The rolls last up for about 5-7 days before going bad, however the closer they are to when you baked them the better they will be!
