Dinner Rolls
Dinner rolls are soft, fluffy, and slightly sweet bread rolls that are perfect for accompanying meals. They're versatile, pairing well with soups, salads, or hearty main dishes. Making them at home is straightforward and rewarding. There is always something nice about seeing dinner rolls on the dining room table and they take a good mal and turn it into a special feast for all.
Do Sweet Potato Dinner Rolls Freeze?
These rolls are also freezer-friendly! Let them cool completely after baking, then freeze. Reheat in the oven when ready to serve. Do not microwave as this will make them chewy.
