Grandma Belle's Yeast Rolls

(84)

Recipe Intro From chlo.peters

Growing up, no family gathering was complete without my Grandma's Yeast Rolls. 

Every time I went to my grandma's house, I was amazed to find that my grandmother had already prepared the dough. In addition to bread rolls, the dough can be used to make pizza crust, or even coffee cake using her simple recipe.

We recommend making 2-3 bread rolls per guest, and utilizing the remainder of the dough in one of the aforementioned ways.
