Perfect Dinner Rolls

Filed Under: bread, bread/rolls Tagged With: olive oil, sponsored post

These soft, fluffy Perfect Dinner Rolls make the perfect addition to your holiday feast!

Perfect Dinner Rolls

Every year during the holidays we eagerly anticipate these dinner rolls, which have been lovingly nick-named “Sister Friddle Rolls.” Ok let me explain; for many years my mother in law and one of her best friends have traded rolls for dessert at Thanksgiving and Christmas. It’s there brilliant way of getting two things everyone will love without having to make two recipes, how genius is that? I’ve had this recipe tucked away since my very first Thanksgiving with my husband and his family, so I am pretty psyched to share it will you all today!

They take a little effort and a bit of patience to make, but these soft, fluffy Dinner Rolls make the perfect addition to any meal and particularly your upcoming holiday feast. Since I am a total bread fanatic, I was happy to make a batch of them for our Thanksgiving dinner. I definitely foresee making a double batch again at Christmas in a few weeks.

Recipes like these rolls are one of my favorite things about the holidays. I love sharing food with my family and friends, for me being able to do something I love and share it with those I care most about is what this time of year is all about! Did you know during the holiday season Pompeian is helping families across the country immortalize their favorite holiday recipes? Right now you can click over to Facebook.com/Pompeian or Pompeian.com to create your very own personalized bottle of Pompeian Extra Virgin Olive Oil where Pompeian is offering personalized bottles of Pompeian Extra Virgin Olive Oil complete with a customizable label and family photo.

What better way to commemorate your favorite family dish than by gifting one of these custom bottles to a loved one this holiday season. And because Pompeian Olive Oil is the first and only extra virgin olive oil to carry the USDA Quality Monitored Seal, you can rest assured that you’re giving a quality product and unique gift that your favorite foodie will love.

Make memories to treasure for years to come and try the rolls, trust me, you’re going to love them. Serve these Perfect Dinner Rolls warm with your meal or use them to make sliders with your leftover ham or turkey. However you choose to eat them I hope you’ll enjoy, happy baking!

    I love how you made your own rolls. When our whole family gets together, the one thing we make sure we do not run out of is bread! These look great!

    Tried them tonight. The dough is awesome but forming rolls is next to impossible! The butter is coming out and rolls don’t stay together.

    Since I did like the dough itself, I will probably use the classic croissant approach next time. Much easier!

      I am sorry you had trouble rolling them, I would definitely just form them however you find easiest, there’s no wrong way. I’m glad you enjoyed them Tatyana!
