I think I put them in there.....99.9% sure I did.

I made 6 dozen of them today for our Thanksgiving gathering on saturday.

Can you freeze the dough? or freeze the cooked bread?? How do you do it?

I've always been going to try it but never have. I would think it should work.

Am I missing something? I don't see butter flavored shortening up there. Or, do you mean in place of the butter use butter flavored shortening?

The original recipe called for butter-flavored shortning and that's what I used until recently.....now I use real butter. I edited the recipe as I had originally posted it. Changed the shortning to butter. Sorry for the confusion.....they're good either way....butter or shortning.

I've never frozen this recipe prior to cooking altho I do that with my cinnamon rolls so I would think it would work. I always freeze these as soon as they're cooled after baking. Then just thaw what we need. They keep very well in the freezer.

I asked if I should freeze the remaining rolls, and was told not to bother.

They loved them!

lol thats pretty much what I was told. I cut recipe ion half cos it is just the two of us, but I was informed that a) we are not freezing any cos they wont last past morning, and b) next time make the full 24 rolls lol

It was a huge hit...thanks so much for the recipe!! This will be a staple for long long time I think

FYI, a Kitchen-Aid Pro holds a double batch of these rolls easily.

I am making not only pan rolls, but some sandwich rolls. I am roasting a prime rib tomorrow morning and we are having sandwiches and tater salad for dinner.
