Save 15%! Sunday Dinner Rolls (and Burger Buns) Mix

Makes 12 large dinner rolls, 16 smaller dinner rolls, or 8 hamburger buns.

Homemade dinner rolls and burger buns are not hard to make. And they're the bomb!

Mix the dough in your bread machine or stand-type mixer. Use a knife to cut the dough into equal-sized pieces. If you want them exactly the same size, use a kitchen scale.

Shape them into little round balls, place them in a well-greased pan--a 9x13-inch pan is perfect--and let them rise until they're puffy. Patiently. 

Bake them at 350 degrees.

The hardest part is patience. Let them grow and grow. Eventually, you'll start to get blisters. Now you'll have big, soft rolls.  

If you stuck them in the oven just before blisters started to form--you're good.  If you see three or four blisters starting to form, pop them with the point of a knife and hurry them to the oven.

It's easy to make perfect rolls--even the first time.

These are wonderful dinner rolls--perfect for Sunday dinner and the standard of homemade heirloom rolls.

• Makes the equivalent of a large loaf.
• SAF yeast packet is enclosed. You provide only water and butter.
• Directions and tips for perfect rolls are included. You can make this bread in your bread machine, by hand, or with a stand-type mixer. Using your bread machine, use the dough cycle, then form the rolls, let them rise, and bake them in your oven.

This makes fabulous hamburger buns. Homemade burger buns are much better than store buns, just as homemade bread is better. These are also great sandwich buns.

To make hamburger buns:

You make them exactly as dinner rolls, except they're bigger--eight hamburger buns per mix is perfect. And you flatten them a bit when they're rising.

Press them down two to three times with the back of your hand and then let them finish rising until they are puffy like dinner rolls.

You can make hamburger buns out of any bread mix. That will blow your guests away!
