Ingredients
Instructions

Tips & Substitutions
For fluffier rolls, ensure your yeast is fresh and active. If you don't have self-rising flour, you can make your own by combining all-purpose flour with baking powder and salt. To enhance flavor, consider adding herbs or garlic to the dough. Additionally, kneading the dough gently will help maintain its light texture. Remember to keep the dough covered to prevent it from drying out.
Serving Suggestions
These yeast rolls are perfect served warm alongside a hearty meal, such as Vidalia Onion Casserole. You can also slather them with Garlic Herb Butter for an extra touch of flavor. For a delightful brunch, serve them with a fruit salad or with spreads like jam or honey. They pair wonderfully with soups and stews as well.
Storage & Reheating
Once baked, store leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. For longer storage, freeze them in a freezer-safe bag for up to three months. To reheat, place them in a 350°F oven for about 10 minutes or until warmed through, ensuring they remain soft.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use active dry yeast instead of the package yeast mentioned?
Yes, you can use active dry yeast in place of the package yeast. Just remember to activate it first by dissolving it in warm water with a little sugar for about 5-10 minutes until frothy. Then, mix it with the other ingredients as directed.
What adjustments can I make for a gluten-free version?
To make these rolls gluten-free, substitute self-rising flour with a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend that contains xanthan gum. You may need to adjust the liquid slightly, so start with the original amount and add more if the dough is too dry.
How can I make the rolls sweeter?
If you prefer sweeter rolls, increase the sugar from 1/4 cup to 1/2 cup. You could also add a teaspoon of vanilla extract or a sprinkle of cinnamon for added sweetness and flavor. This variation makes them great for breakfast or brunch.
