Dinner Roll Success


After a days work and two batches of dough, I finally had 12 beautiful dinner rolls that were equally delicious.  Thanks to Cooks Country, Thanksgiving dinner was complete!  The process was surprisingly easy however, I did learn a few lessons.  My first batch of rolls started out just fine and I was expecting nothing but perfection until my dough failed to rise.  I pondered what I could have done wrong and decided in the mean time to make another batch just in case.  Good thing I did because as it turns out, water temperature really does matter.  The first time, I neglected to realize that my temperatures would be in fahrenheit rather than celsius and made my water far too hot, shocking and killing the yeast.  Obviously this was a problem hence the failure to rise.  Once I repeated the recipe, making sure the water was the correct temperature, the rolls turned out just fine.  Here are a few photos of the process.
