Wheat Beer Rolls

"Not your everyday roll. Sort of a cross between a biscuit and a roll, but better than both! A good quality unfiltered hefeweizen will give these rolls a rich wheaty color when baked, which makes them look and taste healthy! I use Franziskaner Hefeweizen in my recipe, but any wheat beer will do. Goes great with a bowl of chili, but would even stand up to the best tenderloin or prime rib! Your friends will want this recipe!"

  1. Loved these rolls! They are very dense and are perfect served with hot soup. I had to add quite a bit more flour to keep the dough from being too sticky. They rose up beautifully and the butter brushed on top really brought out the flavor. Thanks for posting the recipe for these tasty rolls! Made for My 3 Chefs November 2008
