Rum Sweet Rolls
These plump tender rolls are a sweet choice for breakfast or a coffee break...and easy to make, too! I bake batches for the holidays and other special gatherings. Sometimes I replace the packaged mix with my recipe for homemade yeast rolls.12 ServingsPrep: 25 min. + rising Bake: 25 min. + cooling
