Dinner rolls used to be my nemesis. I could never get the tops to turn out shiny and smooth no matter how hard I worked the dough. Now I no longer have to worry about that thanks to this recipe! I first learned about these rolls through my mother-in-law whose bread always seems to turn out amazing.
I now love it because the rolls always turn out beautiful and taste great! In addition, they freeze well such that I can make a large batch and then freeze them for another day. Peanut also has fun rolling the dough into snakes for me so that all I have to do is tie the knots before placing them on the baking pan.
Make this recipe and your guests will think you’ve slaved away for hours and hours. They never have to know that you actually had fun in the process! Enjoy!
