My quest for the best delicious, yet quick roll recipe, is over. I have found IT, my new “go to” roll recipe is Molly’s Rolls. I got it from Amy at The Sisters Dish. She got the recipe from her friend Molly. So thanks Amy and Molly! I am eternally grateful to you both.
My all time favorite roll recipe has been the Lion House Rolls that I have posted on here before. The problem is the rolls take too much time to make them frequently. Molly’s rolls taste very, very close to the Lion House Rolls. I think for me, what makes a perfect roll is the use of egg and milk in the recipe. Both of these recipes include that.
These tender, tasty rolls are done in about 1 hour and 20 minutes. I decided to shape the dough into crescent shape. So delicious, I am now in heaven! I think this dough would also be awesome to make cinnamon rolls with too (which I have done). YIPPEE!!!!!
