[@Genny-Zee]

Melissa is my favourite person on the NYT cooking roster

You could also draw an outline of the dough on top of the saran wrap with a sharpie.

[@PatriciaScarpinTK]

Melissa's recipes are amazing and it is such a joy to watch her cooking! Love it!

[@Kariwable]

my grandmouther made dinner rolls with potato flakes! love it! Those things will fly off the dinner table.. so get your game reach on!

[@PatriciaTrace]

Wonderful recipes! I want to try both versions ASAP! I can’t always find frozen pizza dough, but I can find frozen bread dough. I love garlic butter, using roasted garlic mashed into the soft butter. I’d probably add a little Parmesan grated on a Microplane or lemon zester to the remaining butter before spreading it on top of the baked rolls.

[@christinamcallister3791]

A lot of the grocery stores in my area, including Walmart, sell fresh pizza dough balls in the deli area.

[@AlexandraAndStuff]

Carmelized onions inclusions could also be amazing

[@lisabishop6266]

Roasted garlic!!

[@Comptonisa]

Yessss and roasted garlic 🧄 🥖🧅🧈🧀

[@getrealnow73]

great tips thank you

[@Cookathome.Christina]

Looks so good 👌😍

[@candiedisilvio9596]

Im so glad I just found you! You make it look so easy and not intimidating. I actually might try making rolls this year 😅 Wish me luck!

[@TravelingFoodie22]

Me too so may the odds be in our favor lol

[@christinamcallister3791]

Everything bagel seasoning in the butter?🤔

[@kkz201]

melissa clark is my fairy godmother

[@jasoncromwell4206]

I'm a big fan of Texas Roadhouse Cinnamon Butter, and I like to make my own version. I also discovered Maple Butter on Pinterest a few years ago and I love making that as well.

[@GrunonFeliz]

Showstopper rolls start at 5:10

[@jerryhong4304]

All these years later, I’m still in love with this woman

[@absolutelynoooooot]

What are the chances this drops within hours of Alison's own rolls video same day yall..

[@madelinefarrell2176]

I think Claire dropped hers today too

[@TD32333]

Is there any way to make these ahead?

[@toryevanss4512]

Absolutely, I make similar rolls all the time and plan to do so for Thanksgiving. Just before the final rise, cover with plastic wrap and put in the refrigerator for a day or two. Take them out about an hour before you bake, then proceed as usual. You should be able to freeze them too, but I've never done that personally.

[@ninjaspambot]

If freezing, you'd want to thaw in the fridge overnight, then let proof from the fridge, as you mentioned. @@toryevanss4512

[@starshipduck]

Can the dough be made the night before and left in the fridge to rise or will it over proof?

[@joyceromero778]

Does anyone know why she puts the rolls on the top shelf of the oven ? Thanks

[@brendamaldonado2373]

Interesting 🤔 😊algo nuevo para realizar

[@TheLaloulou]

Could I substitute the dehydrated potato flakes with plain potato starch?

[@kitchenmom]

No. They are two different things. Dehydrated potato flakes are just the stuff you make instant mashed potatoes with, so you could us fresh mash if there is really no way for you to get them.

[@jenniferbostic7918]

Anchovy Butter!

[@beckybainer9019]

One stick of butter per week? Doesn’t seem like much!!

[@_sootyfoot]

I thought this, but then that's probably why Melissa has arms like that and mine look like the pizza dough

[@preciousowusu7743]

Chives and garlic in the butter.

[@LoriFalce]

Tried the pizza dough version and they are delicious, but definitely not the texture you get from the typical dinner roll. A great way to go if you need to devote your limited prep time to a different dish, but there's still a place for a fluffy dinner roll.

[@jandj2jandj2]

Wait what a stick of butter a week is really not that much

[@dalpio]

I'm not a butter person but these look delicious!

[@4themotherload]

Butter is King , obviously I say this knowing some people have dietary restriction's. If you don't butter is a good thing!

[@dalpio]

@@4themotherload As a southern European olive oil is my go-to daily fat. Nothing against butter, just not used to it :)

[@snsflowerssrilanka2962]

Nice 👍✝️✝️✝️

[@mirinewcome3000]

Maybe use a pizza cutter to cut the dough?

[@joeharringtonbuilds]

One stick of butter per week? My family is more a one stick of butter per day kinda family, lol

[@dianebe]

No recipe given? Show stopper recipe please

[@donnanaftzger6935]

I guess you have to subscribe to get a recipe. It's alot for a recipe.

[@lynnstlaurent6789]

Instead of eyeballing why didn’t she use a ruler for nine rolls exactly the same size.

[@celeritas2-810]

Or a scale

[@frontier9]

Except they aren't "rolled" or structured into rolls. They are kind of portioned off into bricks - you made bricks.

[@SandyEmma-i9w]

No one has a finer command of language than the person who keeps his mouth shut.

[@lumber-jackha5123]

The rolls don’t look normal, they look flat and not good or fresh.

[@onemightymill]

If you want a real showstopper melissa you MUST try to make these rolls with our stone-milled flour
