Buttery Pan Rolls (for the Bread Machine)

"From a Favorite Brand Name Recipes book. I've made too many yeast roll recipes to count but these are my hands down favorite. I make them for all holiday meals and whenever bringing dinner to someone. It's really easy with the bread machine and everyone loves them. It's a lot of butter but don't scrimp, they're well worth it! I've doubled the recipe and either baked in two pans or in a 13x9 pan. If you do this, just watch the baking time and make sure the middle rolls are cooked through."

  1. I tested about four different dinner roll recipes before finally deciding that this was the best one. I was a little nervous at first because it seemed that they weren't rising fast enough, but I was patient and waited until they had doubled before putting them in the oven. The end result was a light and buttery dinner roll. Took me straight back to my childhood. This recipe's a keeper!
     
  2. These were so easy and SOOOO tasty!! Even my picky daughter loved them! I did as another reviewer and pinched the dough into 16 equal pieces and then rolled them in my hands to make round balls. They looked awesome! A definite must-do again!
     
  3. I made this for Christmas, it needs way more butter in the pan for these rolls than stated. I even poured some melted butter with garlic on the top to add more flavor. However, I did love this recipe and will make it again. My daughter brought over her God Children and the little boy that was two years old, he refused to eat anything but these rolls, he loved them so much and if he could talk better he would have so himself but the look on his face as he ate all 4 said it all, we had to stop him from eating them.
     
  4. Wow! so fluffy, full of flavor and easy to make! There were 4 of us and we gobbled them up:) WIll definately be making these again! They rose very nicely for me too!
     
  5. I'm so glad I found this recipe! These were so easy to make and about as close to my grandma's homemade as can get without all the time and trouble. I can say for sure these will be made often at my house! Thanks so much for posting!

Tweaks

  1. These were good, pretty tasty. Maybe it was using the all-purpose flour instead of bread flour, or maybe it was the way mine got crunchy on the buttery bottoms, but I was a little disappointed. I'd expected a softer, more refined roll, I think. Baked 12 minutes, followed directions exactly, using our new Cuisinart bread maker (CBK-200). I don't know where the two hours prep time, plus 2.75 hours cooking/baking time comes from--it's only 12 minutes to bake, and my machine did the dough in an hour and 40 minutes, plus an extra 30 minutes to rise... so it's about 2.8 hours total to make these rolls. Thanks for posting! Edited to add: the crunchy bottoms disappeared overnight, so the rolls were better the second day.
     
  2. I have never attempted to make rolls before and after this easy recipe I'm wondering why!! The only change I made was to use 4 TBSP of melted butter instead of five in the pan and over the rolls. I also baked them for only 10 mins and the rolls were perfect! Next time I will try the whole wheat flour and update my success. Thanks!
