"For fans of cafeteria cuisine. These lightly-sweetened cloverleaf rolls complement any entree. There wouldn't be any reason that this couldn't be made in the bread machine on the dough cycle."

These were great, the perfect cafeteria roll! They rose very nicely. I served them with pot roast and mashed potatoes. They were perfect for sopping up the gravy.

I haven't been to a Luby's but these were a nice tasting roll. It was a easy yeast bread to make. I thought they might be a little yeasty tasting because of the amount of yeast used but they weren't. They rose up so nice and big. Thanks Molly53. Bullwinkle.

Did anyone else end up with just MASSIVE rolls? Like, falling over the edge of the pan huge?
