I made these for a dinner party. I didn't have "shortening" and used butter instead. These rolls were heavenly!!! I served them with garlic olive oil and herbs so we could dip them. It was my first time making rolls (or any bread-type for the matter) and these were so simple! I will be making these again VERY soon!!!

Wow. These rolls were great and had great texture. Soft not chewy and only took me an hour and 40 min from start to finish. It would have been quicker, but I wanted to bake them in an 8x8 pan, so I had to roll out 12 balls which was a sticky mess so I had to pull apart and flour each one so next time I'll just add enough flour to the dough until it's no longer sticky before the first rise. That'll make it a lot easier and a lot less messy. Anyways, my first rise, I let rise 30 min on a warm oven and after I rolled the balls, I let them rise 20 min in a 140 degree oven. They were so pretty after I buttered them and came out perfectly. Some family members ate 3 rolls. I wanted another but was too full lol. Also, I added 1/4 cup sugar total and 3 TBSP butter in place of shortening.<br/><br/>*UPDATE*<br/>These rolls are delicious and are my go-to rolls from now on. I had another one this morning for breakfast and I could really taste the flavor and appreciate the texture of these soft, buttery (thanks to my addition) rolls. Its a keeper for sure! I personally think adding a 1/4 cup of flour or more to the dough and rolling the dough in balls and placing them close together in a pan gives it a much prettier appearance and they'll actually look like rolls ;)

Amazing! These rolls are soft and chewy on the inside and nice and crispy on top. I made these as a last minute side for dinner and I'm glad I did. My husband loved them! I made a few changes to suit my personal taste. I used raw honey instead of sugar. I also added some Italian seasoning, crushed red pepper, black pepper, garlic, and fennel to my dough. Once they finished baking (15min in my oven) I brushed the tops with garlic butter. I will make these again! They are great with and without my changes!!!!

I followed the recipe exactly, only using butter instead of shortening...I always do! They rose great and cooked up nice and fluffy. Definately an easy recipe. The only problem is that they didn't have hardly any flavor. My whole family said they had to have butter or be dipped in gravy to provide any sort of flavor.
