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!!

[@gingerhawkinshills]

I am SOOOOOOOOOOO THANKFUL you posted this recipe! I have been searching for it for over 20 years! When I was a young mother, I did a baking business out of the house to make ends meet. One of my clients had brought me this recipe to make for her holiday meal one year. I fell in LOVE with it of course. Years later my husband and I split, and he kept my recipe box. I have been searching ever since. THIS IS IT!!!!!! Thank you, a million times, over!!!! I am indulging in a second roll right now!!!!

[@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.

[@tomwyant9297]

Annie, you just made my day! I love that your daughter made these for the first time using our video. I know you were so proud of her.......and so am I! Keep her cooking. Thank you for sharing her story with me. And, thank you for being a part of our KZbin family.

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

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.

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 !!!!

[@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. ❤

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.🥰

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

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 .

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.

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.

Sorghum molasses has always been in my parents home! I loved it my whole life so I always jar a jar. In Alabama you can get it at the Fruit Stand at the Redlight middle of town the really large fruit stand in Loxley Alabama for South Alabama ! In Huntsville there are numerous Sorghum farms all around the country. They usually have a horse walking in a circle at that farm but they do cook it there! And running the sorghum through something that smashes the stalks and gets the juice out to begin making pure Sorghum. If it’s mixed with other syrup it’s not good like the pure Sorghum so careful what you buy! It’s also very healthy and cures coughs and sore throats! Now that’s not medically said so just take it as a side thought!

[@tomwyant9297]

@@Fayde-o1h, we have a family who live just a few miles from us who make sorghum. They are well known in our area for their sorghum. We buy a few jars each year. In the fall, they have one weekend where they invite the community to come in and watch the sorghum making process. Like you said, they have a horse walking in circles to grind the sugar cane in the huge stone grinder/press. Then the juice/syrup is moved to the boilers where it's boiled down into molasses. It's an interesting process. Thanks for being a part of our KZbin family. We appreciate you being at the table with us.

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.

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.

Thanks you two for creating loving memories & recipes for your family & the you tube world. God Bless you both & your families! 🙏👏👏👏💕🌻

Waiting on mine I’m so excited!!

Tom I don’t know if y’all had a Quincy’s Steakhouse or not. They had some of the best yeast rolls and offered honey butter to spread on them. OMG! That was mighty fine eating. My great grandmother worked in the lunchroom at the local school and she learned the recipe on how to make the rolls and we would have them on holidays. Such a good trip down memory lane.

[@leannageyer943]

I’m going to try this recipe. THANK YOU for saying you can let your mixture knead the dough. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family and everyone. Let’s hope we can put hatred and division aside and unite for our beautiful country.

Oh wow...these remind me of my mother in law's yeast rolls, she would send them to us every Christmas from Indiana. She's in memory care now and this made me think of her. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe 😊

Yay! You mentioned the page # in your cookbook! Just a bonus for us followers. ❤

[@doveabele1257]

Your "sigh" at the end of a bite says it all. Thx for the recipe. It reminds me of my Aunt Maxine and the yeast rolls she'd make only for special occasions. ❤

[@BerniceTaylor-q7s]

Thank you for showing us how easy it is to make these delicious rolls. Just in time for the holidays.

[@carolyngurney5376]

I am enjoying your cookbook. Looking forward to making these rolls. I am glad to see that you are left handed like me.

[@debbycolflesh7892]

I could almost smell and taste those rolls. The topper was the molasses and butter. I hadn’t thought of that in forever. My Dad used to do that. Thank you.❤

[@lisaray8983]

Same here. My Dad would do sorghum molasses and butter and put on biscuits and on cornbread. 😊

[@lisahumlicektaylor2682]

Just ordered your cookbook. Thanks for all your hard, yet yummy work. Thanks, Melissa, for always having the recipes available with the video.

[@janetryder172]

Rolls look awesome .. thank you for all your wonderful recipes !! Love your channel Tom and Melissa !!

[@sherrybear5886]

My aunt made these rolls. She would fry bacon, country ham, and onion…diced very small. She would stuff the inside of the rolls with the bacon ham onion mixture and bake. Delicious

[@Fourcornerhighway]

I made these buns for my Bible study group. It was a big hit, specially with a fresh pot of chicken soup. Talk about a winner 🎉

[@JoanneRandolph-mc9mn]

You make it look so easy and you brought back some really special memories for a lot of viewers! Thanks to both of you!❤❤

[@brendamurphy5372]

OH MY GOSH! I wish I had smell-a-vision. I love homemade rolls. Thank you for all the great recipes. Your cookbook is on the way, can't wait to get it. ❤❤

[@ExcelsiorElectric]

I just made these, and they are delicious! It was the first time I ever made dinner rolls. This is a great video, thank you so much for posting this.

[@michaelaelias5515]

I saw this video yesterday, Wednesday before thanksgiving. Because of time, I would not have had time to make my usual roll recipe, but this one yields lots of rolls, and requires much less attention. Started it at 8am on Thanksgiving morning, and pulled them out of the oven at 10:45am. So light, fluffy, and soft !!! Already sharing it. ❤ Score !!!! NOTE: I didn’t have Lard, so I substituted with Crisco and it worked beautifully.

[@jimmyturner5589]

Just like momma used to make before age got to her, she was 90yrs in June of 2024, I am going to try this recipe. Thank you and God bless you. Jimmy Turner, Buffalo Mo.

[@veradubay2941]

I bought your cookbook. I love how big the sprial is. I can easily open it up, and fold over. I love your videos too. I have made many of your recipes. I am fixing to try making these rolls. I hope you have a Merry Christmas. I live in Mesquite, Texas.

[@lesliemorris5695]

I look for your videos every day!! I always know you are going to be fixing something good!!! Thank you!!

[@olddawgdreaming5715]

Those rolls look amazing Tom. Thank you and Melissa and Pam for sharing this recipe and showing us how easy they are to prepare. Stay safe and keep up the great videos. Fred.

[@camibarritt1200]

My papaw always mixed soft butter with Golden Eagle Syrup. I skipped the butter & just ate the syrup, or sometimes mixed it with peanut butter. Yum!!

[@conietrujillo7010]

You both are the Sweetest Tom & Melissa❤thank you for sharing your videos❤🎉

[@audreytempleton4415]

My mouth watered this whole video... tomorrow these will be baking in my kitchen...thank you ! I love your videos .

[@donnawood7897]

Oh how I wish my husband and I could sit at your table. Since we can’t, I’ll try your wonderful rolls. My guy will love them as much as you do. I tried yeast rolls a few years back and it wasn’t pretty, I Am Confident I can do this- with your help! Greetings from Fort Worth, Texas.

[@jackiefaubert3378]

This is the best bread recipe I have ever used, Yes I not only use this recipe for rolls but I also use it for bread, cinnamon buns and to today tried it to make donuts, oh my god I have never had such good donuts. I rolled them in cinnamon sugar. Soooo good

[@tonysmith1024]

Nothing makes a home smell better than homemade rolls! Thank you for the video!

[@melindahart4220]

I so enjoy your videos...your sincerety and humbleness shine through. After searching for a recipe for homestead yeast rolls...I came across yours. The rolls are delicious and I made them for our family Thanksgiving and will make them this Sunday for my church Holiday meal. Thank you so much for sharing this!

[@toandiloya585]

Mmm, I can just smell and taste that delicious bread 😋 What I love about your channel is that you show us all the ingredients and explain the do's and don'ts, and/or tips to perfect recipes. I can see why you were a teacher and a great one I'm sure. Thank you both for sharing the best recipes. Love, love, love your cookbook, I recommend it to all!

[@gigicostlow4414]

Nothing like warm homemade rolls. Them being all different sizes is proof that you made them. lol Frying country ham and making red-eyed gravy for biscuits was something I used to love doing. Learned it from my grandmothers. My grandparents all loved molasses or table syrup and butter on their biscuits. I was never fond of it but my brother was and still is. Thanks for sharing this yummy recipe.
