The Tale of Fluffy Dinner Rolls
Story updated
Yeast-leavened bread rolls have been baked across Europe for centuries. Soft, buttery dinner rolls became a defining feature of American home baking and holiday tables by the 19th and 20th centuries as commercial yeast and refined flour grew more accessible.
