  1. Wonderful rolls, made exactly as directed except sprinkled with a course salt on top before baking. Turned out soft and so good, the herb butter really set them off, directions were easy to follow, left overs made great sandwiches the next day
     
  2. What an exhilarating release of gases! A smooth, soft-textured and robust flavored yeast bread that was easy with which to work. Mine looked a tad like puff babies and I had feared the 'bread-baking' gene had skipped two generations succinctly...or maybe this time I just held my tongue just right. Made for A-NZ #36 Recipe Swap.
     
  3. These were great! We liked them alot. They are alot of work but so worth it! I thought they could use a little more salt and will add a little bit more next time. Thanks for posting these! Made for Pick a Chef Spring 2009
     
  4. Fabulous rolls, they taste great and they look so impressive, I got huge kudos from the family, and a visiting friend, for these. They also freeze very well, incidentally! Your directions are spot on, it may look like a lot of steps, but so easy to work through. I made these on a weekend afternoon, while busy with other housework and cooking, so it was very simple to prepare the various steps inbetween other things. I didn't make the herb butter, and in fact, we have enjoyed these most with no butter! Thank you for a really great recipe that we all enjoyed very much and will definitely make again!
