[@ruthannebright2096]

Wouldn’t it be nice to be your neighbor and pop in , sit at your table and say “pass the dinner rolls please “.. thank you for sharing this yummy recipe..

[@tomwyant9297]

Ruthanne, we would be thrilled to have you as one of our neighbors. We hope you try this yeast roll recipe and enjoy it as much as we do. Thanks for being a part of our KZbin family.

@ I’m always excited to see what delicious food you are going to make next ..

[@mothertwinkles4198]

Exactly!

[@sharronwolfe7711]

Received my copy of your cookbook last week, and just love it! Very nicely done, too! Nobody will be disappointed in it, that’s for sure! So happy you put it together for us! I know it took a lot for time!

[@donnaakridge788]

I have really been intimidated of making yeast rolls. I just felt like I could never get them right and to be honest scared. I watched your video which I love watching yall's videos. I'm gonna do it. You just show it in a no mess up way. Thank yall for showing a scary cat like me how to make yeast rolls. And by the way I would sure love to come sit at yall's table!!

[@Annie-so2kk]

So easy to make and so delicious. I tasked my daughter with making these today while I was at church. Gave her the video with receipe and got her as far as the yeast bloomed. After 1st rise she rolled out the dough and cut with my pizza cutter. They turned out absolutely delicious. She was very proud of herself for someone who never makes much from scratch and never rolls or bread.

[@RiverCrockett-in7bg]

In 2001, one of our granddaughters (who is 28 now) attended an elementary school that served the best rolls I had ever eaten. When I asked the lunchroom crew about them, the sweet lady who made them graciously shared the recipe with me. It is almost exactly like the one you posted, except shortening rather than lard (only 1/4 cup), a slightly different amount of flour and no egg at all. You are not kidding that the rolls are absolutely the very best! I didn't think to ask the lady her name at the time, but I saw an obituary last year and vaguely thought, "Hmmm, I might know that lady." I read the obit, and sure enough it mentioned she worked a few years AT A SCHOOL CAFETERIA, and she was famous with friends and family for HER ROLLS. I am so glad I was visiting the school during the time she worked there and very thankful to stumble upon her obituary and finally know her name. God has his ways! Rest in peace, dear Janice, and thank you so much for the recipe. And thank you guys for sharing with everyone what I'm sure is almost exactly the same. Those who try it won't be disappointed. As a side note, my beloved grandmother shared the butter/molasses thing with me when I was a child, except with biscuits. Thanks for the memory. ❤

[@BerthaWashington-j8h]

Can you make these these rolls with whole wheat flour

[@RiverCrockett-in7bg]

@@BerthaWashington-j8h Sorry to say I don't know. My thoughts are they would be much more dense instead of light and fluffy.

[@nancyarchibald9095]

​@RiverCrockett-in7bg But W.W. is so tasty and practically GOOD for you, especially if the flour was warm and just barely milled before mixing.

[@RiverCrockett-in7bg]

@@nancyarchibald9095 I was just commenting they might not turn out light and fluffy like the original recipe.

[@KimHerron-q1l]

Wow another amazing recipe. They look delicious. You two are a beautiful couple. I love the way you guys are with each other. I've been watching you guys for at least a year. But it was just within the last month that I started leaving comments. I was married for 36 wonderful years. But unfortunately my husband passed away January 2024. You guys cheer me up. I love you guys.

[@tomwyant9297]

Kim, first, let me offer our condolences in the passing of your husband. It’s my belief that one of God‘s greatest gifts is our ability to have memories. He will be with you as long as you carry his memory in your heart. Second, thank you for, being a subscriber and for watching our videos. We certainly do appreciate you being part of our KZbin family. And, third, we truly do appreciate you leaving us a comment on our videos. Interacting with our subscribers is one of our very favorite things about having this channel. Thanks again for watching our videos and leaving a comment.

This sounds just like the same recipe my Mom used. She too was a Ministers' wife. My Dad was an Episcopalian Priest. My mom would make these rools, only she rolled the up as butterhorns. She would put them in bags of six. Her famous rolls would be sold before she could even make it in the door. She is gone now but, my brothers and me make them.

[@dianainmichigan]

My grandmother used to make the best dinner rolls that were softball size. It took me years to figure how she did it. I now use a bread machine for the dough. After she passed away an aunt told me she switched to frozen bread dough for the last few years. She had trouble seeing in her last years .

[@tomwyant9297]

Diana, there is nothing better than food made with love. I have no doubt that your grandma‘s rolls were packed full of love for her family. Thank you for being a part of our KZbin family.

[@renaweatherspoon6710]

Well thank you! I just finished watching the entire video and you have given me the perfect contribution to my daughter's Christmas dinner. Her family loves rolls and this will be such a treat for the entire family. You explain things so well and I love how you have all the ingredients set up before hand. And an added bonus...Melissa gives us the written recipe! Perfect!! Oh, you brought back such memories of my daddy fixing syrup and butter together to eat with his biscuits. I never knew that was as thing.🥰

[@tomwyant9297]

Rena, I know your family is going to absolutely love the homemade yeast rolls for Christmas dinner. We hope your time together as a family is extra special this Christmas. Thank you for being a part of our KZbin family.

[@marybetoo]

About 60 years ago I worked for a baker. One day he took onion yeast rolls out of the oven and put hot sliced ham on those rolls. OHH my goodness!! My daddy did butter and molasses and that's how he taught me and my son. ❤

[@daynastithem3576]

I miss the Amish and Mennonite stores in Kentucky. Loved to get my spices, meats and cheeses from them. I had cow shares too and got my milk and cream from them too and made butter and ice cream from it. There was a guy that did salt cured ham for me too. Oh and the fried pies of my. I bought a carrot cake from on Amish lady it was amazing. I weighed it once it was 5 lbs. she only charged my $6 for those cakes. She was the same lady that taught me how to quilt. They are always so kind and loving people. Wish some of these other people out here in the world had their loving hearts.

[@robinparker6492]

Yes when we lived in florida so yummy

[@mitziblevins986]

This video made me cry. I've not seen anyone do the molasses and the butter on a yeast roll since my father passed away. Thank you for the sweetest of memories 💗

[@tomwyant9297]

Mitzi, I am so glad that our video brought back such precious memories for you. Your dad will always be with you as long as you carry his memory in your heart. Thank you for being a part of our KZbin family.

[@christinanavarre8389]

My Father also was a huge fan of molasses with his rolls and biscuits. I miss him. I'm the last of my family. Interesting place to be at 67.

[@sharalonbonzo8509]

We use to mash the butter and syrup together to place on the rolls

[@reed6490]

I’m so appreciative that you made this video!! I’ve always been intimidated about making bread!!! I’m 73! I live in S. Louisiana. My mom made rolls and my dad loved Steens Cane Syrup with his (a Louisiana product). We were a family of 11 children so you can imagine how hard it was to feed that many hungry little kids! But I have no memories of ever not having enough to eat

[@sherryholsted4486]

Molasses and butter is exactly how my family ate biscuits at the end of the meal! That’s true Southern eating at it’s best!!!

Bob white syrup and butter

[@tomwyant9297]

Hey, Sherry! It’s good to hear from you. Melissa just showed me the picture you texted to her a day or two ago. I agree with you that molasses and butter on bread is a true southern treat! Yum!

[@sherrybear5886]

We always have butter and sorghum

[@lindakeller3259]

I could tell as you took the first bite of country ham and roll you were enjoying not only It but the memory of having it all those years ago.😊

[@classychassie6584]

We always had biscuits & rolls with butter & sorghum molasses & or honey. Sometimes if grandma didn’t have sorghum or honey she would just put sugar on the hot buttered roll . Yummy Grampa would bring in the country ham from the smokehouse & grandma would put it in a lard stand with hot water to clean off the mold & salt. Then he would slice it off with a big butcher knife & grandma would fry it up & make red eye gravy. Best eating in the world !!!!

[@hollyharris1874]

My Mom, whom I miss so much, made the best yeast rolls but I never learned how. THANK Y'ALL SO MUCH for this! I could cry!! Can't wait to make these for my guys & me. 💜

I was sooooo excited, I took them out of the oven, wrapped them up in a big towel, and drove over to my sister's house to show her! She was so surprised, and of course, wanted the recipe. I told her the story about the woman who gave you the recipe, and told her I couldn't share it ahahahaha. Thank you soooooo much!! 😁😄😁😆😄 👍👍👍👍

We had a lady at our church that made rolls every Thursday for Ladies Aid. The ladies quilted all day and brought a dish to share. The men would come in from the fields for lunch and they would all sit down and eat together. Virginia did not quilt but boy or boy could she make the BEST rolls. Thanks for sharing this recipe. It brought back such wonderful memories. My Dad and Grandpa mixed butter and sorghum for their rolls. Makes me teary thinking back.

[@janedavis6377]

Great recipe. Thank you for sharing. I worked in a school cafeteria and I made hundreds of yeast rolls every day. I also used the same recipe for cinnamon rolls . They were so good. This recipe is very similar to the cafeteria recipe, just different quantities. You are a joy to watch. You really love food.

[@tomwyant9297]

Thank you for your kind words, Jane. After teaching in an elementary school for almost 30 years, I can tell you that cafeteria yeast rolls are fabulous! Unfortunately, they stopped making them from scratch the last 10 years or so of my tenure. Mrs. Schubert’s Rolls took over and it never was the same. We are very happy to have you as part of our KZbin family.

Thank you for sharing this recipe! My dad always made those rolls every Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter. Oh the smell..my mouth is watering just thinking about it. I believe I told you he was born in West Virginia and then they moved to Kentucky. I have a very strong accent I inherited from him then I grew up in Pittsburgh. Quite a combination! 😂 I can still hear him say “Go help your mom do the deeshes baby doll” lol. Thank you for the memories. ❤ I’m sorry I haven’t been in lately, I was told my cancer screening test came back positive and abnormal. I live alone and have no family close by so I’ve been having a hard time. I’m trying to think positive and as always, I’ve turned to prayer.

[@kevinallen8162]

I am going to have to make a batch of those rolls when I am having guests. They remind me of the delicious, homemade rolls that the cooks in the small high school in Western Kansas made for us several times per week for our lunches during the time that I taught there from the mid-1980s through the early-1990s. That small high school in Natoma, Kansas will always be my most memorable position - only about 90 students in the entire high school at the time.

[@eileensutcliffe6755]

You forgot to mention one ingredient as you were mixing! LOVE! That is what makes homemade bread the best! I love to make rolls.

[@theresadoyle2476]

OMG !!! I wanted to try this recipe before Thanksgiving. I can't believe how good the rolls turned out. This was by far the easiest roll recipe I've ever tried. This one gets a star of approval. I can't wait to bake these next Thursday. So delicious and fluffy. Yummy

When I worked at the main bank downtown (you know which one, Tom), Miss Nancy would bring her Country Ham Rolls there every Courtday. I believe they were only $1, but this was in 1985. They were fantastic. How blessed you are to have been given her recipe.❤️

[@readytogo3186]

Yeast (smelling and eating) is the best!! If somebody offered me my choice between one of those big homemade rolls and a piece of cake, I'd take the roll every time! Mercy, those look good. I like rolls with NOTHING on them. Butter is good, but nothing is better. I want to taste the roll, not what has been added to it. Years ago a friend gave me a recipe for cream cheese braids and I wanted to crawl into the oven! So good! Edit: Well, the rolls did it. I just ordered your cookbook. Ordered 3; one for me, two more for gifts, Blessings to you!

My mom used to make yeast rolls all the time and she’d even tuck a little bit of cheese inside of them. It was a recipe from my great aunt Edna, who passed away many years ago. My mom passed away in October of last year and we could not find her recipes so when I was online today, I wanted to find one that was as close to what my aunt had and that my mom used to make. So this one looks like as close as possible to my mom‘s recipe. You gotta get those recipes from long ago because they knew how to cook. My aunt Edna also lived in Kentucky, so I’ll bet you this is pretty close to the recipe that my aunt had. Thank you so much. I like also that it’s a larger recipe because I’m feeding my family for Thanksgiving and they will love these rolls.

Wow! So quick story. My great grandmother was famous for her yeast rolls too. They were famous in her area and she sold them at church bake sales. Her recipe was passed down but it was written in shorthand and we couldn't exactly replicate them. Fast forward 20 years I was flilpping through a cookbook she had learned to cook from as a young wife and found the yeast rolls. She had taken two printed recipes and mixed them and made them her own from the best I could tell. It all clicked and what a fun story. All that to say is your recipe is nearly identical to hers. Hers is a double batch for making a second round later in the week and it's made with a sponge so it more resembles sour dough. I know your rolls are fabulous because my grandma's are too. Thank you for your amazing recipes. I have become a fan of your passion

Jenny, we really loved reading your story! Our grandmothers and great grandmothers were wonderful role models for us in the kitchen. They had a tremendous "feel" for cooking. We so appreciate that you are a part of our channel. Thank you for joining us at the table.

Mom used to take a cold stick of butter right out of the fridge and use the square end to gently rub all over the tops of the hot-out-of-the-oven rolls. Easy Peasy and no mess!

[@LauraMacMillan-el2kc]

She would peel the paper back on the stick of butter, about half way down, so she wouldn’t get butter on her fingers. Then wrap the butter back up and put it back in the fridge.

My grandfather mixed dark karo syrup and butter together in Tuscumbia, Alabama. Such a great thing on southern buttermilk biscuits

I live in Owensboro, Ky we had beaten biscuits with country ham when visiting from Louisville. My husband’s uncle Harry’s made these heavenly bites for us. He has been gone almost twenty years.have you ever made hole cakes? My husband and I will be married 50 years on November 27th. Lives full of delicious food from Western Kentucky. Your yeast rolls look delicious. Thank you and your wife for your videos. Normally Young

By God's grace....I'm making these for Thanksgiving

[@Slassetter]

Oh my gosh! This reminds me so much of Thanksgiving when I was young. (I’m 82 now). My mother would make homemade yeast rolls and bread quite often and we devoured them in no time flat! lol. I also loved her cinnamon rolls. I make them but they never taste as good as hers. I think she put a little more love in them than I did! 😂. I hope you all have an awesome Thanksgiving! God bless you and your family. ❤🙏🏼

Wish you’d venture out into the new world of fresh milled flour. Milling your own and making it’s a whole other world of nutrition and so healthy for you. Also an old professional baker told me he keeps his yeast in freezer at all times use what you need and put it back it never dies that way! I’ve proven that to be true.

That is so wonderful my dad cured country hams for many years from 1949. They were sugar cured and hickory smoked and with yeast rolls - just heaven! Thanks for the memory. We still operate Big Walker Lookout but sadly don’t cure hams any more. There’s a place in Kentucky that still does and they sound like they do it right. God bless

You released this at the perfect time. My family had been trying to make yeast rolls for the past couple of weeks with no success. Today we tried our hand at this recipe and they turned out so well. This will be a staple during the big holidays, thank you.
