Every time I whip up this recipe, my fam just can’t resist going for seconds | March 22, 2025

The perfect dinner roll is soft, pillowy and just slightly sweet – and these Southern roadhouse rolls fit the bill. They complement favorite Southern dishes such as pulled pork, and they’re super-tasty for breakfast when spread with butter or jam.
This recipe is fairly foolproof, as long as you respect the rising time: A double rise helps the dough develop the texture and flavor you’re looking for. Your rolls will come out of the oven puffy and delicious.
