Fantastic! Soft, light, and buttery. Made these for the first time when taking dinner to a friend (always risky with a new recipe) and I was thrilled with the results. These are very easy to make and shaping the rolls is easy and forgiving so it's perfect to use when little people want to help in the kitchen. Love that the recipe uses oil in the dough which is a little healthier. Used regular unbleached flour. I knew I couldn't use the wooden spoon method, so changed the directions for use with the Kitchen Aid. Added the hot milk mixture to the Kitchen Aid mixing bowl, then 5 cups of flour, mixed, and, when I was sure it wasn't too hot, added the beaten eggs. Beat until smooth with the paddle. Added the yeast mixture and additional flour (plus 1/2 cup to make a workable dough) and beat until smooth. Removed the bowl and set in a draft-free place to rise until double. To form the rolls I divided into 6 portions and made a total of 54 rolls. Was a little concerned that they would be too small doing this, but these rolls rise quite a bit, then get even larger when baked, and they were just right. Placed on greased sheets, then brushed with about 10 T of melted butter before rising again. Baked 10 minutes. Awesome! Thanks, Jill, for a fantastic recipe! I'll make these again:)

We loved these! I even ate two of them, and would have eaten a third if I had any room! They were easy to make, altho my right arm got tired stirring and I worked up a sweat . But they were SO worth it. Thank you for the wonderful recipe.
