Ingredients
Instructions
- Dissolve yeast in 2 cups of warm water in a large bowl.
- Add remaining ingredients and mix well.
- Cover the bowl tightly and refrigerate.
- When ready to use, spoon dough into greased and floured muffin tins.
- Bake at 350°F for about 20 minutes or until browned.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter texture, ensure the water is warm but not hot when dissolving the yeast. You can substitute half of the margarine with unsalted butter for a richer flavor. If you don't have self-rising flour, combine all-purpose flour with a teaspoon of baking powder and half a teaspoon of salt per cup. For added flavor, consider mixing in herbs or garlic powder.
Serving Suggestions
These yeast rolls pair beautifully with Fresh Tomato Soup (Mom'S Summer Recipe) for a comforting meal. Serve them warm with a pat of butter or alongside a hearty salad. They also make excellent sliders for parties or gatherings, allowing various fillings to be showcased.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. For longer storage, freeze them in a freezer bag, separating layers with parchment paper. To reheat, simply pop them in a 350°F oven for about 10 minutes until warmed through and slightly crispy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use active dry yeast instead of packaged yeast?
Yes, you can substitute active dry yeast for packaged yeast. Just proof it in warm water with a little sugar for about 5-10 minutes before adding it to the dough mixture to ensure it's activated and bubbly.
What if I don’t have self-rising flour?
If self-rising flour isn't available, you can make your own by mixing all-purpose flour with baking powder and salt. For each cup of all-purpose flour, add 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. This will give you a similar rise and flavor in your rolls.
How can I tell when the rolls are done baking?
The rolls are done when they are golden brown on top and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom. You can also use a toothpick; if it comes out clean, the rolls are finished. Keep an eye on them towards the end of baking to prevent over-browning.
