I learned this recipe 28 years ago, when I was a new bride and my grandmother taught me how to make these rolls. They're crusty outside and tender inside. -Lynne Peterson, Salt Lake City, Utah

This is the only roll recipe my family uses. I like to use butter flavored shortening and bread flour for a tender chewy roll, but my aunt makes them as written and they are excellent either way.
