  • I've made the mistake of using margarine in this recipe and ended up with flat rolls even after a good raise due to the water content in some margarines. Best Wishes and Enjoy! The original recipe is more than 30 years old.

Questions & Replies

  1. I have a mini Zojirushi bread maker. Maximum capacity is a loaf using 3 cups of flour. Will this fit? I wondering because it has more butter and sugar than typical loaves, plus the egg.
     
  2. I have a rather silly question. I am going to do a trial run for these rolls for Turkey Day this year. Unless I missed it in the instructions, is the recommended pan a standard loaf pan?
     
  3. I made this recipe before and it's come out fantastic, however this year I need a double batch is there a way that I can do a double batch right away in the bread machine?

  1. Easy and delicious rolls! I love that the bread machine does most of the work. We rolled them in balls, dipped in butter, and baked. I'm excited to warm them up again today to eat with our beef stew.
     
  2. Tried these this weekend they are our new favorite! I also rolled them into balls and dipped them in butter. I let them rise about forty minutes before I made them into balls and then about an additional hour and a half after i had them in the pan. Perfect... thanks so much for the recipe :)
     
  3. I add ingredients as stated on my bread machine. Water, egg, sifted flour, sugar, salt, 1/4 cup margarine (I like it better and it works great) and 2t of yeast. I skip steps 7-9 instead I make balls and dip them in melted butter then after the rolls have doubled in size I crease the center of the rolls with a spatula. Then I let the rolls rise another 15-20 minutes before baking. Thanks DonnaTMann.
     
  4. Wow. This recipe is terrible. I usually don't write reviews unless something is absolutely superb, but this is so ridiculously bad that I have to. This recipe calls for way too much butter. On top of that, something is wrong with the balance of ingredients. Nothing rose properly and I know my yeast is good because I used it for a real Parker House rolls recipe. I was hoping to save some effort before traveling for Thanksgiving by using this recipe, but it was just a major waste of time.
     
  5. OMG, these are so good! The only problem is I think I made myself sick because I ate so many of them. Question .. any tips for shaping the rolls? I folded them down by hand but they didn’t look good. Think next time I will try to use a knife to fold them over. Also, will spray the pan with Pam and leave the butter in one place on the pan so I don’t have to move all over looking for butter to roll them in. I can stop looking for recipes .. this one is fabulous!
