Thanks, man. Is that a 10" skillet?

Yes a 10" deep skillet

 

[Andy M.]

Yes a 10" deep skillet

Looks like it would work in a regular 10". Thanks a lot. I'm going to give this a try.

They make something like that at a Jack Astor's, a local resto. They pour a lot of garlic butter on top. They are really good. I have copied and pasted the recipe. Thanks for sharing s&p.

I'd like to try these but I don't see any "fat" listed in the ingredients list. No oil, butter or shortening. Am I missing something?

No Katie, the only fat is the butter, brushed on the rolls before & after baking.

 

[Katie H]

Thanks. I was hesitant to try them after seeing no fat listed, but from the looks of the picture, they're a winner.

 

[dcSaute]

in lieu of fat, the sugar should provide for some softness and moistness.

fixing to try these tomorrow -

uhhh, errr..... anybody try it / have an idea of what kind of dough consistency is needed?

as written the flour is a 40% variable. that's a tad much.....

 

[ShellyCooks]

Fantastic!! I'm giving these rolls a try this weekend ----- yummers!!! Thanks for sharing!!!

 

[salt and pepper]

Since I live in high altitude I really don't measure my flour (unbleached white) I start out with the minimum amount of flour and add a little at a time until it stops sticking to the mixer bowl (stand mixer) until it comes toghther, then knead for 10 minutes. A soft pliable dough is what your looking for.

 

[dcSaute]

>>stops sticking . . .

got it. thanks!
