Spoon Hot Rolls
Spoon Hot Rolls are soft, buttery bread rolls with a delightful melt-in-your-mouth texture, perfect for breakfast or alongside dinner. Their rich flavor from margarine and subtle sweetness from sugar make them a comforting choice for family gatherings and special occasions.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix warm water and yeast together and let sit until frothy.
- Melt the margarine.
- Add melted margarine, sugar, egg, and self-rising flour to the yeast mixture.
- Mix well until a smooth dough forms.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider substituting half the margarine with softened butter. If you want to make these rolls slightly sweeter, you can increase the sugar to 1/3 cup. Make sure your water is warm but not hot, as too much heat can kill the yeast. Allow the dough to rise in a warm place for better texture. If you're short on time, you can use pre-made roll dough as a shortcut.
Serving Suggestions
These Spoon Hot Rolls are perfect for accompanying hearty meals like Meat Ball Stew or served alongside a salad. They can be enjoyed with a spread of butter or honey for a delightful touch. For a special treat, serve them with a warm bowl of soup or alongside dishes like Praline Pound Cake for a sweet finish. They also pair beautifully with Gouda Cheese for a savory snack.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, you can freeze the rolls wrapped tightly in plastic wrap and placed in a freezer bag for up to 3 months. To reheat, place frozen rolls in a 350°F (175°C) oven for about 10-15 minutes or until warmed through.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use active dry yeast instead of packaged yeast?
Yes, you can use active dry yeast instead of instant yeast. Just make sure to activate it in warm water first and let it sit until frothy before adding it to the mixture. This process ensures that the yeast is alive and ready to help your rolls rise.
What if I don't have self-rising flour?
If you don't have self-rising flour, you can make your own by combining all-purpose flour with baking powder and salt. For every cup of self-rising flour needed, mix 1 cup of all-purpose flour with 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
Can I add herbs or spices to the dough?
Absolutely! Adding herbs like rosemary or garlic powder can enhance the flavor of your rolls. Mix in about 1-2 teaspoons of dried herbs or spices into the dough for a savory twist, making them a delightful side to any dish.
