There are bags of frozen dough balls available at WalMart which one can thaw slowly in a 120 degree oven and bake then to make dinner rolls. If you put two in each cupcake well, they rise to make ‘butt rolls’ and the yeasty smell as the thawing and rising prior to baking is a wonderful scent in a house! I buy the bags and rise six to ten butt rolls at a time then nibble ont hem during the week. Bags come with 36 dough balls and they keep nicely in freezer of the fridge. Slow thawing then rising makes a yummy anticipation. You can even place several on a cookie sheet with foil over them to thaw, then put them together in one large dough ball and let rise again, to make loaf bread! (I make cinnamon raisin bread loaves this way.)
Thanks so much for the wonderful information. I always enjoy learning new things.
Oh, thank you. I have been buying Sister Schubert Parkerhouse Rolls that have already risen, partially browned and they’re just ready to eat in about 20 minutes. I quit making homemade rolls after tasting them. :)
I love those Rhodes frozen rolls and loafs of bread! I have even thawed them out in my microwave on ‘warm’.
Yesterday, after I had thawed out a loaf in my fridge overnight, I rolled it out, brushed it with butter, sprinkled it with sugar and chopped pecans, grated some orange zest over it all, rolled it up, cut it into eight pieces, baked it, covered the hot rolls with a confex sugar icing made with orange zest, butter, vanilla, confex sugar, and a little orange juice. Talk about ‘to die for’. MMmmmmmmmmmm!
