Super-soft Dinner Rolls To Rest Your Head On
I think there are two types of bread-loving folks. The ones who like the hearty, chewy variety and those who love soft and pillowy bread you can rest your head on. I personally stand in the middle of both which makes me an oddity. But no matter what type you fall into, no one has ever said No to these dinner rolls especially when they are warm from the oven and filling the house with delicious smells.
So what are soft dinner rolls made of? This is a rich milk bread or sweet dough as it contains all good things like milk, eggs and butter. It is very versatile too as the same recipe can be used for brioche, filled buns, cinnamon rolls or ensaymada.
