WOW! Those rolls look delish! I stumbled upon your blog looking for a biscuit recipe, but I think I’ll make these instead. Love all your pics and recipes..keep up the great work!
I made these rolls today to make pepperoni balls for my husband’s border patrol station! They were the best I’ve ever made!! THANKS for sharing your recipe! 🙂 PS to make pepperoni balls you simply stuff dinner rolls with pepperoni, cheese, both or either! LOL!
can I use regular milk instead?
You can but you will need to bring it to a full boil first then let it cool until it is just warm. The powdered milk is just easier than that extra step 🙂
I grind my own wheat. Can I use hard white wheat or do I need to use soft white wheat (or some of each)?
Jan- I’m not really sure. I would use whichever you find the most successful in a softer, more tender dough. Let me know how it goes!

How much flour do you use?
Between 5 and 5 1/2 cups of flour. It depends each time I make them because of the weather and the moisture content of the flour. You want a very soft dough that isn’t super sticky. -carole
Does this call for instant yeast or active dry yeast
Hi Barbara. I use active dry yeast.
