I tried your recipe and my family loved them. I don't think it took long to make them. I tried again with half whole wheat and I loved them. The third time I tried honey and yogurt and they were gone in minutes. Thanks for sharing

Great Recipe!!!! I used this recipe for my Wed night dinner. Two small changes, I used only one pkg yeast and 1/2c milk,1/2c heavy cream. I didn't think this recipe took any longer that any other. I've been making bread since I was 11 yr old. The product was a pleasantly dense, sweet, tall roll.Next time I will use the 2 pkgs of yeast just to see the difference. I will add this to my list of recipes to keep. Thank you, Darlene and Shirley wherever you are.
