Casseroll Rolls
Soft, buttery rolls with a light texture, perfect for breakfast or alongside meals. Their warm, comforting flavor suits family gatherings and casual brunches.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Scald the milk and stir in sugar, salt, and 1 tablespoon of margarine; cool to lukewarm.
- Melt the rest of the margarine and set aside to cool.
- Measure the water into a large bowl.
- Sprinkle yeast into the water and stir until dissolved.
- Stir in the lukewarm milk mixture and sifted flour, beating until smooth and elastic (about 50 strokes).
- Brush the top lightly with some of the melted butter.
- Cover and let rise in a warm place until double in bulk, about 25 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using whole milk instead of skim. If you don't have margarine, you can substitute with unsalted butter in equal amounts. Make sure the water is warm but not hot to avoid killing the yeast. If your dough is too sticky, add a bit more flour until it reaches the desired consistency.
Serving Suggestions
These Casseroll Rolls are perfect as a side for soups and stews, or served alongside hearty main dishes. They pair beautifully with Cheese And Chutney Pie or can be enjoyed with honey or jam for a sweet treat. For a complete meal, serve with a fresh salad or roasted vegetables.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make the dough ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the dough ahead of time and let it rise in the refrigerator. Just be sure to bring it back to room temperature before shaping and allowing it to rise again before baking.
What can I do if my rolls didn't rise?
If your rolls didn't rise, ensure that your yeast is fresh and that the liquid temperature was correct. A warm, draft-free environment is essential for the dough to rise properly. If they still don't rise, you may need to start over with new yeast.
Can I add herbs or cheese to the dough?
Absolutely! Adding herbs like rosemary or thyme can enhance the flavor, while shredded cheese can make them extra delicious. Just fold in your desired ingredients after mixing the dough but before the first rise.
