Magleby's Rolls

Ever eat at Magleby's Restaurant? They have the worlds best rolls. I've used this roll recipe (came from my mother-in-law) for years and I think it tastes pretty similar, if not exact!
Plus, the best part...... EASY!!!


24 Rhodes frozen dinner rolls, thawed out
1-2 cups grated KRAFT Parmesan cheese (the lovely stuff in the green bottle-or you can use fresh if you want to, although I take the easy way out and use the bottle!)
approximately 1 Tbsp. garlic powder, go heavily with this stuff
2 Tbsp. dried parsley flakes
1 stick (1/2 cup) butter, melted



-In a small bowl mix together the Parmesan cheese and parsley flakes. In another small bowl mix together butter and garlic powder.
-Take your rolls and roll them out bread stick-style about 3-4 inches long.
-Dip your rolls in the butter mixture and then the cheese mixture. Place on a greased cookie sheet one inch apart. Cover and let rise until doubled in size.
-Cook in a preheated 350* oven for 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned.

Aunt Kay's Amazing Rolls!

This is my Aunt's recipe! They are super easy and I think personally they are the best rolls ever! But that might just be because she is my aunt!
You will need (I am halving the recipe so if you are making them for Thanksgiving, then double it):

• 2 cups warm water (the temperature is important for the yeast to work right so room temp is always best)
• 1 1/2 Tbsp. yeast (the red star brand is her favorite)
• 1/2 tsp. sugar

Mix these ingredients together in a large bowl and wait a few minuets until bubbling then add:

• 1 egg
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/2 Tbsp salt
• 1/2 stick of butter (soften)
• 5-6 cups flour (add more as needed)

Knead until all is blended. Bowl should scrape clean, if not it needs more flour. Let rise in bowl for 1 1/2 hours.

Put some flour on the counter and smash dough till even. Cut into circles (I just used a cup) and fold in half on a cookie sheet (use non-stick spray). Let rise for another 1 1/2 hours.

bake at 400 for 10 min.

You can also use this dough for:

• Bread sticks
• pizza dough
• bread

Or a mountain of rolls! ;)

The Best Homemade Rolls- EVER!

This is Stephanie Waite's recipe that I got off of her blog.

These rolls were so good and pretty simple to make.

This will be a recipe to go in the "favorites" recipe box!

1 large carton of sour cream (2 Cups)

1/4 Cup shortening

Heat them together in a little pan, but don't boil.

Place in mixing bowl and stir in:

1 Cup sugar

1 tsp. baking soda

1 tsp. salt

2 eggs, well beaten

Take 2 pkgs. dry, fast rising yeast and dissolve in 1 cup of lukewarm water. Then mix with other ingredients in large bowl. Add 7 1/2 cups flour (i had to use almost 8 cups), and knead.

Cover the bowl with aluminum foil and place a dishtowel over it. Place bowl and contents, well covered, in a refrigerator overnight and until the dough has doubled in bulk. Make rolls and place in roll pans, cover with dishtowel and let raise for about 3-4 hours.

I made them into knots and into crescents.

How to make knots: roll a small handful of dough out 12 inches, then tie once into a knot.

crescents: cut the dough into 4 equal parts and then roll it out into a 16 inch circle. Then use the pizza cutter to cut the circle into 16 even triangles. Roll them up like crescent rolls.

-Butter the rolls with melted butter and a pastry brush after they have cooked in the oven.
