These fluffy rolls go perfectly with any meal. They have a delicious homemade flavor that's irresistible. I like them because they're not hard to make and they bake up nice and high. -Patricia Staudt, Marble Rock, Iowa

Made this recipe into bread loaves. I could not believe how moist it was, with so little butter.

I made these for my grandson's 24th birthday. I doubled the recipe and everyone just loved over them. I can hardly wait to make them again... I will serve them with my honey butter, although it is not necessary for sure. There GGGGReatttt

I have made this recipe many times! We absolutely love them! I make the oatmeal in the microwave to simplify.

These are wonderful. I have a roll recipe I've made and loved for years but this one tops it! Both hubby and I consider this our new favorite.

I have been making these for many years since seeing the recipe in one of the hardcover books. They are ALWAYS a huge hit and worth the effort! I made them last December for an event our church hosts - feeding dinner to over 100 volunteers. People kept coming back asking if they could have another roll!I like to divide the dough into two - and then into 12 pieces for each dough ball. I put the formed rolls into two round pans making the finished product a nice presentation! This makes 24 nice sized dinner rolls. When I used to make them according to the recipe, as 18 rolls, they were really too large for a dinner roll, in my opinion.It's my favorite roll recipe! A treasured keepsake!

This recipe easy to make and my family said it's even better than bakery! I had failed attempts in making bread, Im so surprised this time.

I have never rated anything before, but these rolls are so fantastic they deserve a comment. First let me say, I've never had too much success with making bread although I do try! I LOVE yeast rolls and have never found a recipe that works for me, UNTIL NOW. Mine turned out just as they appear in the picture and were simply scrumptious, even better than resturant quality. To add to my surprise, and further complement this recipe, my yeast was expired and I had to use half white and half wheat flour yet they turned out beautifully! My family has not stopped commenting on them! I don't want to mess up a great thing, but I think I may try making them "bite size" next time as h'orderves. I served them with homemade honey butter--what a delight! I will be making these for Christmas as well to go along with a honey ham. You will LOVE this recipe if you are a yeast roll lover. It's easy and you just can't go wrong!

These are absolutely the very best dinner rolls ever! And yes, friends and family who were at our wedding reception in 2007 STILL rave about these delicious rolls.

These rolls are AWESOME! This was my first time making bread that required kneading and rising, and it was so simple and turned out GREAT! These will be my new staple for family dinners.

These are absolutely delicious! My husband's cousin made these for the family reunion and I raved about how good they were, not knowing she baked them. She made them for our wedding reception and even two years later, people remember them! :-)

In my opinion, the best roll recipe ever printed in the magazine's history.

Anytime I find a recipe with brown sugar in it I substitute the liquid with pureed fruit. On this recipe I pureed a can of peaches, juice and all, and measured 2 cups of it instead of 2 cups of water. Dough is a little stiffer but it works out ok.
