Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine 3/4 cup flour, sugar, salt, and undissolved yeast in a bowl.
- Heat milk, water, and margarine until liquids reach 120° to 130° Fahrenheit.
- Add the heated liquids to the dry ingredients and beat for 2 minutes at medium speed, scraping the bowl occasionally.
- Add 1/4 cup flour and beat at high speed for 2 minutes.
- Stir in enough remaining flour to make a soft dough.
- Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for 2 to 3 minutes until smooth.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, grease the top, and cover.
- Let the dough rise in a warm place until doubled in size.
Tips & Substitutions
For best results, use bread flour for its higher protein content, which helps the rolls rise beautifully. If you don’t have margarine, unsalted butter can be used as a substitute. Make sure the liquids are at the right temperature; too hot can kill the yeast. If you want to add a hint of flavor, consider mixing in herbs or garlic powder.
Serving Suggestions
These rolls are perfect alongside soups, salads, or served with butter and jam for breakfast. They also pair beautifully with Thanksgiving Onion Pie or any hearty meal. Consider serving them warm with a side of honey or a flavored butter for an extra treat.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, freeze them in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months. To reheat, simply place them in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes until warmed through and soft.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make the dough in advance?
Yes, you can prepare the dough ahead of time. After kneading, let it rise until doubled, then punch it down and refrigerate it overnight. Bring it back to room temperature before shaping and allowing it to rise again.
What if my rolls don’t rise?
If your rolls don’t rise, check if your yeast is still active. You can do this by dissolving it in warm water with a bit of sugar and waiting for it to foam. If it doesn’t foam, it’s best to start over with fresh yeast.
Can I add fillings to the rolls?
Absolutely! Feel free to add fillings like cheese, herbs, or even a sweet cinnamon mixture. Just flatten the dough slightly before adding the filling, then roll it up and shape it into a ball before the final rise.
