Tips & Substitutions
For best results, use fresh yeast and ensure your milk is lukewarm before adding to the mixture. If you don’t have Crisco oil, vegetable oil or melted butter can be suitable substitutes. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour, but be cautious not to overdo it. This dough can also be used for making rolls to pair beautifully with Artichoke Dip.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these rolls warm with a pat of butter or alongside a hearty soup or salad. They pair wonderfully with dishes like Potato And Cheese Pie or can be used to soak up sauces. For a sweet twist, try them with jam or honey. Consider serving with a fresh Pear-Lime Salad for a refreshing contrast.
Storage & Reheating
These rolls are best enjoyed fresh, but you can store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, refrigerate for up to a week or freeze them. To reheat, wrap in foil and warm in a 350°F oven for about 10 minutes or until heated through.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make the dough ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the dough in advance. After mixing, cover it and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Allow it to come to room temperature and rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes before rolling out and baking.
What can I do if my rolls don’t rise?
If your rolls don’t rise, it might be due to inactive yeast or too cold of an environment. Ensure your yeast is fresh and that the dough is kept in a warm, draft-free location. Consider using a warm oven (turned off) to help with the rising process.
Can I add ingredients like cheese or herbs?
Absolutely! Feel free to mix in shredded cheese, herbs, or spices to the dough for added flavor. Just be mindful not to add too much extra weight, as it can affect the rising process.
