Freeze-and-Bake Rolls
Almost any occasion's right for these handy rolls—I keep them in the freezer for Sunday meals and for company (they have never failed to taste fresh), and I've served them for everything from baptisms to family dinners. My husband and I have three children, ranging in age from 8 to 4.
Ingredients
- 2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast
- 2 teaspoons plus 1/2 cup sugar, divided

This dough was a breeze to work with! And shaping them was not hard, after watching a YouTube video to see how it is done! One question: after freezing, can you thaw them out or do they need to be baked from frozen? Thank you!
So far a five. Easy to make. I am waiting for them to cool. OOH they smell so good. I am going to freeze them and finish baking them for Christmas. One thing out of the way.
These rolls look amazing and I am sure they taste good, but 24 carbs is not a good for a diabetic. Just for one roll, what about the other items in the meal?
I found this recipe today and I baked these, they are delicious. I am thinking I will need to make a second batch to make sure there is enough to go around for Thanksgiving. I am going to try this process on a recipe from my husband's Grandmother. Thanks for this recipe.
I was so happy to find this recipe. The rolls have a great taste and even after frozen, are fresh and delicious! as a mother to three young boys, two with special needs and a husband in the military, fast, easy and delicious meals are a must. These rolls are a great addition to almost any meal :)
Right now I'm not giving it the best of reviews...only because I converted oz into tsp for the yeast! It gave me the wrong amount to use. I used at total of 1 1/4 tsp of yeast...when really there is 2 1/4 tsp per package! So i should have used 4 1/2 tsp of yeast! Way off...couldn't understand why it won't rise. I will be trying these again tomorrow. Even though I have tiny hard bun...the flavour is great, so I'm going to give it a second chance. Wish me luck:)
Oooh amazing to eat and easy to make, the texture is light and fluffy and goes well with anything! (we've been known to eat them randomly through out the day!)
It has been awhile since I have made these only because I lost the original recipe I had xeroxed out of the magazine years ago. I am so glad to find this again! These are excellant rolls to keep in the freezer so your always ready should unexpected company drops in. The texture and taste are nice and not nearly as hard to make as the picture would have one think. Can't wait to get some back in the freezer!!
I reviewed once already to say how wonderful this recipe is. I need to post again to post of what can only be described as an "EPIC FAIL."I did it up as written. So I thought.I had the dough kneaded beautifully. Just the right amount of flour, it felt exquisite. I turned around to grab the bowl I'd prepared to raise it in.OH. NUTS. (Not really but I can't post what I actually said here.)I had forgotten the salt and the second amount of sugar.I ended up saving it by letting it raise, punching it down, dividing it into four portions and then pressing into pizza pans sprayed with cooking spray. I baked them at 400ºF for 6 minutes. They should be good for freezing now!
These are excellent. I'm a lousy judge of dough amounts in my hand so I didn't get the full 4 dozen, I only got about 3, and I didn't bother tying them into pretty knots, but they are wonderful nonetheless. I will recommend this recipe to ANYONE!
