Freezer Dinner Rolls

Submitted by Impera_Magna

"Posted in response to a recipe request. Recipe from a Fleischmann's bread recipe book that I ordered from the company in the '70s by sending in empty packets that yeast came in. While I haven't tried this recipe, every other recipe I tried has been wonderful! Times listed do not include freezing or rising times."

Great recipe! These came together FAST! Mixing in my kitchen aid the dough was ready for the knead stage so I continued to 'knead' it on speed 2 in the mthan do it by hand for 8-10 minutes. I let it go for 7 minutes with no additional flour and it resulted in a smooth and elastic dough. Followed the rest of the instructions and now have dough balls waiting in the freezer. I baked 6 of them though for supper and they were wonderful. Soft and delicious! I did use unsalted butter rather than margarine which may up the flavor factor. These were yummy and good and so fast! Thanks for a keeper IM!

I didn't care for this recipe. It took forever for the dough to come together and it made a big mess.

I made these for Easter. The ease of freezing was wonderful, I feel the taste was only ok, but we all gladly ate them.

I made these th other day and put them into the freezer for our TDAY dinner. I must say the dough was easy to work with. I did remember to SIFT my flour when measuring as this will lighten the dough and give correct measureent. I added in garlic and herbs to the dough as it mixed in the bread machine. I used AP flour and ran out of wheat gluten, so I made sure I ran the dough cycle 2 times to develop the gluten. This dough made more than enough rolls for dinner to come and I plan to use the dough recipe again to make larger sandwich rolls. I will update after TDAY. Giving 5 stars for ease of recipe. UPDATE: these turned out fantastic! Made life so much simpler having the olls premade and ready to pop in the oven while the turley was carved and the taters mashed. We all enjoyedthe rolls and I plan to use the same recipe this week toake larger rolls for hamburger dinner adding some garlic and herbs to th batch for Monday Nite Football. Moist and tender. Yep just like hubby likes tem. Thank Impera!

I loved this recipe.It is wonderful to be able to just prepare once and pull out when needed.It was cold in my house so the rise time took a little longer.
