    Soft, delicious and perfect. There really is no other way to describe these dinner rolls. I have shared these with quite a few friends over the years and each and every one has always asked for the recipe! They really are that good, even none bakers want to make them!

    Honestly, there are (in the words of my friends "So soft!" "So rich yet so light and fluffy." "Better than anything you get in a restaurant" "These are the best thing you have cooked me" (somehow I am not sure how to take that one!!! Although Sally swears it was a compliment πŸ˜‰ )

    And I have definitely had more than one friend say "Perhaps I'll just have one more.". Β These always disappear! I am not sure how well these last, I never have any left longer than 24 hours!!! If you are feeding a crowd, instead of making double the recipe I would make the recipe twice. Just because you don't want to over load you stand mixer. I am sure a double batch would be okay in there, but I live in fear of the day my KitchenAid breaks!!! I would be in tears! So I follow the instructions to the letter. Nothing goes in the dishwasher and I never mix bread on a speed higher than 2. Like I say it would be a very sad day in my kitchen!

    This recipe is pretty special to me as it is one of the first recipes I ever made in a commercial kitchen. I got to use a massive stand mixer, it held so much flour! and had a dough hook as big as my arm!!! I loved it! Well at first!Β I made over 100 rolls that day! By the last batch (or 4) I was a bit over forming rolls πŸ˜‰

    Obviously that was on a mass scale, but the method still works well in a home kitchen. It is a slightly different bread recipe to the more traditional dinner rolls, but it makes fabulously soft and light dinner rolls. Soft, delicious, in fact you can happily eat them on their own with a little butter and nothing else! But they are perfect as slider rolls too!!!!

    Just look at how softΒ they are!!! It is the combination of egg and butter that gives them the most beautiful texture (and taste!!!)

    Even if you aren't a baker give these a go, they really are the softest and most delicious dinner rolls you can make.

      Hi Claire! I usually pass on rolls because they are mediocre, but these are anything but! I would happily just sit and eat buttered rolls if I had these! I usually make Brioche rolls for the holidays...not this year! I have a bread machine and I usually let the dough cycle do the work for me and then form my breads or rolls and let them do the final rise before baking. However, these are so easy to do in my KitchenAid! I too would be devastated if my mixer died! I gave my son one for Christmas a couple of years ago and the smile on his face was priceless! Now on top of wanting pasta all the time I want rolls too! πŸ™‚
