Can't wait to hear about it Susan! You know I totally forget that a bread machine can do that. Mine is wrapped up and stored in the garage but how easy is that? You'll have to give me a report. Enjoy those rolls!

Heather, first I'm so sorry for your loss. My mama passed in 1997, far too young, and I still miss her every single day. I do hope you'll give these a try - the hardest part of them is waiting really for the dough to rise. As far as shaping I really like the cloverleaf and they are easy too. You can do this I promise!! Let me know if you give them a try.

Happy Thanksgiving!

My mother used to make these every year at thanksgiving and christmas too and I bet its been years since I have had them since she passed 9 years ago and ive always been too afraid to try them myself! I think that this year I shall toss fear aside and bring back mom's tradition! I want my kids to have the memory of them too!! Thanks for posting!

Can this dough be prepared in a Bread Machine, up to the completion of the 'Dough' cycle?

Every time I read your recipes I am totally homesick, salivating, and I'm pretty sure I gain weight! This is exactly how I make mine! yummmmm!

Sorry I missed the second question! I have only ever used regular all purpose with this recipe but sure, you could use bread flour!

2011-11-18T11:04:14.987-06:00

Hi Leigh! This would be the best choice - shaping - for the more tender rolls. The pan rolls are soft and tender but more surface area so shaping will give you what you are looking for. I also had the yield wrong when I added the recipe box coding, so I did correct that. The dough was divided in half, so I got 12 cloverleaf rolls, and about 16 crescents from this single recipe. Depending on how you shape these you should get somewhere between 24 and 28 rolls. If you're going to double, do two separate batches though. I wouldn't increase the yeast either - this is enough & when you add more it can add a yeasty taste to dough. Hope you enjoy them & let me know what you think!

Also, Mary have you tried bread flour with this recipe? I was wondering if the higher gluten content makes them better?

Thanks!
Leigh

2011-11-18T06:16:18.793-06:00

Thanks Mary! It looks awesome. I've been comparing recipes. Do you think these are the softest and lightest homemade yeast rolls you have tried? How do they compare in softness to the pan rolls you sent out? I want the lightest ones? Does increasing the amount of yeast affect this or is it the rise time?

Also can I double the recipe with no problem using my large Kitchen Aid mixer?

Thanks,
Leigh

Thank you so much Patty! Of course, you can sub in any available brand of Cajun or Creole seasoning for the Slap Ya Mama, but it's blend that I love & use everywhere. I admit I've converted a few people over to it too! Anyway, the best way to capture text from any website is with a a highlight, copy and paste into a word processing program (like Microsoft Word).

Hello--I print off so many of your recipes--THANK YOU!! I have to buy "Slap Ya Mama" seasoning since it is in a lot of your recipes. Anyway, how do I print all the pre-recipe information that you provide regarding the recipe (without advertisements on side margins)? Would appreciate your assistance. Thank you again...

2011-09-25T20:19:48.401-05:00

LOL Erin, crack me up! Of course. Just mix by hand or with a hand mixer for the first part and then you'll just have to put in the extra elbow grease and hand knead until the dough is smooth, probably about 5 minutes.

2011-09-25T18:40:54.158-05:00

I don't have the (highly coveted [by me lol]) stand mixer with all the attachments - not yet anyway - it's a luxury that will have to wait. But is there a way to make this recipe without it - you know - the way Methuselah's mama woulda done it? lol And still achieve these amazing results?! I don't have a bread maker either.

I made these the other night with a roast chicken dinner and they were fantastic. My family preferred the crescent shapes because they said they were more moist so I will probably prepare them that way in the future. The recipe was very easy to follow and prepare, even for a novice bread baker. Thanks for posting this.

Oh thank you for posting this recipe!!

I've been looking for "The Perfect Roll" recipe for the past couple of weeks now, and I think I just found it here!

Yearssssss ago, I made Thanksgiving rolls from a recipe I'd found in a Taste-of-Home magazine, but I can't seem to find that one...

Thank you for sharing this, I especially appreciated the hints you gave on how to make it in advance, since these will be traveling with me - I'll get them done and finish cooking them when I get to our Dinner Spot~

Love your site, you always give us wonderful recipes!

2009-11-23T11:59:27.173-06:00

Those look good! I will definitely try them sometime, but for us, it's Moomie's buns on Thanksgiving. I think they might revolt if I tried anything else.

I cannot wait to try these! A weakness for sure!

Mary those look so good. I have a weakness for yeast bread and roll. So good. I will try these for our christmas dinner, since we are out of town at MIL for Thanksgiving. But I will cook just for us on Xmas. Cant wait.
