    I have my hand up to say this post must have been written for me – the one that’s afraid to use yeast. I have made pizza dough and various other things using yeast, but I’ve yet to get comfortable with the process. Thank you, you’ve been a big help today.

    I can’t believe you have any reservations about yeast. You are such a great cook you are the last one I would have thought to have any fear. Give them a try – you get better each time. Thanks for stopping by Sam.

    My Daughter-in-Law gave me some sourdough starter. I have fed it once and am thinking of using it soon. I wonder if it could somehow be incorporated into this recipe, maybe as part of the water as it is kind of liquidy. Great recipe Madonna and your rolls look so smooth and delicious.

      Penny, I would suggest you follow the recipe exactly the first time, after that you can experiment to see what you get. If you want sourdough try Ann’s recipes. She is an excellent baker and biscuit maker. http://www.thibeaultstable.com/search?q=sourdough

      Let me know you outcome.

    Yeast rolls like these are definitely my weakness, I’d probably eat 3 0r 4 in one sitting. Especially with butter and that strawberry jam, oh my!!

    So many people are afraid of yeast, but it’s quite forgiving stuff once you get to know it. And weighing all ingredients really does make things easier! Super recipe — thanks.

    I do love a good yeast roll. In fact, there aren’t many rolls I’ve met that I haven’t loved…except maybe the ones I have around my middle from testing all the other yummy rolls 😉 Thanks so much for sharing these at the Creative Ways Link Party! Have a wonderful rest of the week and a delightful Mother’s Day!

    I often make my own bread, but funnily enough I never seem to make rolls. These look delicious and definitely worth a try.

    I make all my own bread and rolls, Madonna, and have been doing this for years. There’s nothing quite like homemade bread… the smell, oh my, and the taste! It’s so good for all the senses. Your rolls look wonderful! Happy baking! Have you made any more popovers??

      Oh Kitty, I am so happy to hear you make your own bread and rolls. I started making it because of my soy-sensitivity, but now it is just what I do. I will be making popovers this weekend, maybe even a double batch. Thanks for stopping by.

    I’ve got to get a new scale…it think it does improve your success with baking. I think my husband could eat a basket of the rolls by himself. 🙂

  14. writermomangela – Angela Keck is thrilled to have turned her passion for online communities and social media into an amazing career. Blogging is a natural extension of her two loves, social media and writing. You can find her blogging about social media, parenting, photography, recipes, and whatever else sparks her fancy at Writer Mom’s Blog. Angela owes her return to her first love of writing to the birth of her daughter, who is now fifteen years old. When her daughter was an infant, Angela realized she could not teach her children to chase their dreams if she had given up on her own! So she dusted off her muse and wrote, and wrote, and wrote! When her son was born, ten years ago, she switched from working outside the home to working from home managing online communities. Now she proudly writes between chauffeuring her two children to their activities so they can also chase their dreams. Angela and the love of her life are happily married, raising their two children, a German Shepherd, and one very fat cat in Southern Illinois.

    I was afraid of using yeast for a long time but I’m so glad I got over it. There’s nothing like the feeling of making homemade bread! Thanks for joining Ladies Only Blog Share!

    What pretty rolls! I haven’t baked bread for ages–flirted with low-carb for a while–but I used to love making butter-drenched dinner rolls.

      I don’t do well with low-carb and no-gluten recipes myself, but these are great beginner rolls and anyone can make these. Thanks for visiting Angela.

    I’ve been waiting for this post, since you said you’d be writing it. I’m definitely scared of yeast, but I will pin these for a day when I am feeling brave! I need to brush up on my yeast lingo – I don’t even know what “proofing” yeast means!

    Please give these a try Amy. Even if you have a little trouble in the beginning they are perfect recipe to learn about yeast. If by chance you have a fail and I do not think you will, you are too good a cook, you are only out a pound of flour and your time.

      Sandra, even if they don’t work for you, which I don’t believe, all you will lose is a pound of flour, and a little time, most of it is inactive time. If you knead the dough by hand, you will learn what the dough feels like. I don’t pretend to be the most knowledgable, but I learned a lot from this recipe. Good luck.
