School House Rolls

"For those of us of the older generation. Can you remember how light and tasty the homemade rolls were that they served in the school cafeteria? Try these and let me know if you think they compare. This is a very versatile recipe and not complicated to make. Can't remember where the recipe came from but glad I found it. Like alot of recipes I come across no prep or cooking times are noted."

  1. I made these rolls with my 4 year old daughter and they were absolutely delicious. Exactly the taste I was seeking! They turned out VERY large and neighbors we shared them with used them as hamburger buns!
     
  2. These turned out big and delicious. My granddaughter snatched two before dinner was ready! The dough seemed a bit dry so I added 3 tablespoons of additional water. The dough was a dream to work with! I made 20 very large rolls and lowered the heat to about 375. Thanks Anita, this recipe is a keeper!!
     
  3. This is a very good recipe. I am a Cafeteria Manager for a middle school. I have been using it at work.
