My current specialty is this - they're gluten-free, which is a neat feature, and tasty. (This particular recipe does not mention it, but before shaping the rolls, knead the dough until it's dough-like, not cottage-cheese-like, and you'll get a nice crust and texture.)

My own favorite simple roll recipe, with two versions: one a little more buttery and slightly sweet, one leaner and less sweet. I've made these successfully with with white all-purpose flour, whole wheat, white whole wheat, or half white and half wheat. You can sprinkle the rolls with sesame seeds as suggested, with poppy seeds, use a plain egg wash (egg white or whole egg) for a shiny glaze, or skip the wash and dust them with flour before baking.

These soft garlic knots are terrific! They bake up super nice and fluffy. The recipe says it makes about 10-12 rolls, but I usually make about 16 out of it; otherwise, they turn out HUGE. I use active dry yeast rather than instant, and knead the dough by hand, so if you don't have a stand mixer, worry not!

What are they going to be served with? I ask because we usually do a roast in my family, and do Yorkshire Pudding along with it instead of rolls, it's divine and it's totally easy to make. But it probably wouldn't go as well with a fowl dish, or ham for example.

If you've never made yeast dough before, and if you have a bread machine, think about making the dough on the DOUGH cycle of the bread machine, then take it out and shape into rolls.
I have never in all my years been able to make a soft yeast dough, either by hand or using my KitchenAid mixer. But the bread machine makes perfectly soft dough no matter which recipe I use.

I've used this recipe for Parker House Rolls and they've always been a success.

If it's Prime Rib, you want Yorkshire Pudding for sure! Takes only moments to make (bake it while the rib is cooling/being carved) and it's delicious and bready.

I love pillow-soft dinner rolls. If you make 'em right (don't skimp on the kneading, rise them in a warm place!) they are indeed pillow-soft.

Georgine's fluffy rolls via Saveur. Gorgeous pull-aparts that got absolutely devoured.

Response by poster: Oh, no bread machine. I have made yeast breads before though.

It's great with APF, which is good since I'm always out of bread flour.
