"From Better Homes and Gardens. Of course you can double for larger families, or multiple days of bread. I will be making a cookbook of recipes that use this dough. For whole wheat version, substitute 1 cup whole wheat flour for 1 cup of the stirred in all-purpose flour. For cheese version, stir in 1 cup shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese with the stirred-in flour."

This recipe made very good rolls and easy too! I made it into four portions as suggested, cooked one portion for dinner last night and froze the rest, not planning to use it right away. But it was so good that I want more for toinight so I am thawing out some of the dough for dinner tonight! Thanks for the recipe, I will be using it again!

Found a solution to the flavor issue. Use honey in place of sugar. Then brush the rolls with a little honey on top. So instead of 2-4 tbsp sugar, use 2-4 tbsp honey. Exactly the same measurements. When the rolls come out, brush with honey while still warm.
