Directions
Lorilyn’s Dinner Roll Dough,I’ve been making this dough for about 15 years by memory & I just recently came across what I’m pretty sure was the original written recipe. Turns out my memory isn’t as good as the dough I’ve been making is. So now I’m posting my often used & requested recipe before I forget it. use it for basic dinner rolls, sweet rolls, cinnamon rolls, savory breakfast pinwheels or for my taco ring. I don’t usually measure the flour, but the noted amount is within about 1/2 cup more or less. Prep time includes rising time.,Delicious and easy, a perfect combination in my book! I froze half and am looking forward to how they come out. I have to go to bed so I can quit eating them………………..,These rolls are wonderful. I am an avid bread baker, always tweaking the recipe; however, these are perfect as is and my new favorite! They make great little sandwiches with leftover holiday turkey or ham, yum.
