Delicious No Knead Refrigerator Rolls

Submitted by Dine Dish

"My aunt made these rolls for a post New Year's Eve get together and they were to die for. Delicious! I made them after getting the recipe for her and they are incredibly easy as well. A great recipe for a first time bread maker or and experienced pro! I haven't tried this in the bread machine dough cycle yet, but if you have a large capacity machine, I don't see why it wouldn't work! Enjoy :)"

Wonderful recipe. Added 1/3 c powdered milk and used butter instead of shortening. Made the dough the night before and baked the rolls the next morning. It took 2-3 hours for dough to rise once it was removed from the refrigerator. Rolls baked up light and fluffy and tasted great. Reminded me of what my grandmother used to make!

These are absolutely awesome. I made just as directed and they turned out light and fluffy with an excellent flavor and texture. I love the fact I can put these together in the morning and take them out when I'm ready to make them. thanks so much.
