These were wonderful, we had them with baked ziti and a salad so we had plenty left over, the recipe really makes a large amount. I decided to use the leftover rolls as my "bread" in my stuffing recipe and boy did that pay off, everyone loved that too. Thank you for sharing such a great recipe.We will make this over and over again.

I really wanted to love these but I just don't. I made these 3 days ago and only 6 of the 24 rolls have been eaten. The texture isn't what I was expecting and wasn't what I was looking for when I set out to find a recipe to go with my spaghetti dinner. These are heavier than I had anticipated, not the light fluffy I thought they would be.

I took these to a BBQ and they were gone in no time flat. The hostess even hid some in the freezer for later consumption. :) The dough formed a perfect ball in the BM, though was a little sticky coming out of the pan. Working with it on a floured surface solved that and it was really easy to form into balls. Thank you for a unique and very tasty recipe!
