Could someone help me–I don’t generally do well with yeast breads and this one is no exception. I’ve made this 3 times and and each time they just don’t rise well. What am I missing? HELP?????? (I do love the taste, but boy, are they heavy!)

@Kevin, So sorry about your mom's passing...I really appreciate you taking time to reply and let me know about the freezing of the dough. God give you peace!

@Gerry, Hi from Ireland

I lived with my mum until she died some four months back and as a way to make sure I don’t fall into bad eating habits I make it a point to cook at least one full meal in a day. I also resurrected my old bread machine and quite honestly have only bought one loaf within the past three months.

You can both refrigerate and freeze dough.

I make a pizza for my brother, sister, and nephew each Friday, along with oven chips, and I find that if I make double the quantity I can happily store it in the refrigerator for up to three days; it will keep in the freezer for up to three months. Just be sure you take it out of the fridge/refrigerator and leave it sitting at room temperature well in advance.

I made these rolls this week and they were the best rolls I’ve ever had! They turned out perfect … I did add a bit more sugar to make the dough and as soon as they came out of the oven, I brushed honey butter on them. SO YUMMY!! I froze the few that we didn’t eat and they come out perfectly after just a few seconds in the microwave. My kids and husband loved them in their lunches as ham and cheese rolls. I will make this recipe over and over again! Thanks for another winner, Crystal! I love so many of your recipes.

@April, I don't know about freezing, but I live by myself and I have found breads and rolls last a long long time in the refrigerator. I just micro wave a couple of seconds to get to room temp or warm.

Thanks for sharing this recipe. I tried them & they came out perfectly & were so delicious. I thought I was going to freeze some of them, but they disappeared far too fast for that.

Crystal-
I need some help! I tried this recipe and others, my rolls just don’t seem to rise enough. I’m wondering if I got the milk too hot or not hot enough. Do you use a thermometer to check the temp of the milk?
I used 1/2 arthur court white bread flour and 1/2 prairie gold whole wheat.
Thanks!

Just wanted to follow up and say… these were DELICIOUS. I had some butter spray, which I used before I baked them. I thought they were perfect. Thanks so much. This one is a keeper for us.

I am making these right now… and I am VERY excited!! Ha ha. Just wanted to say how much I love my bread machine. I got it as a wedding gift. I think it took me like 3 years to get it out of the box. Now I used it almost every week. LOVE IT. It’s also good to know that I might be able to get one at a thrift store if I burn this one out!!

Those look so good! I would LOVE it if you would come link this recipe (and/or others you have) on my recipe post. I’m sure you are very busy & I might be the tiniest blog on Earth, but if you get a moment, here’s the direct link! Hope your last few days of Eating from the Pantry are going well! Maybe my Meatball Sub recipe can inspire you .

No one has suggested making soft pretzels yet…. I like this recipe (but I don’t know who to credit) but I’m still searching for the perfect cheesy-mustard recipe.

Also- I often make a batch of bread dough and wrap it around hot dogs or sausages (We used to have these pigs-in-a-blanket for school lunches on Fridays). They are a big hit with the kids and my husband loves to take them out in the field with him…. it doesn’t matter if they get smooshed in a backpack. And I’ve rolled dough out for “dinner-namon” rolls…. just sprinkle with leftover taco meat, cheese, pulverized veggies, tomato sauce…. (or chicken & white sauce) or whatever leftovers you have…. roll up like cinnamon rolls, let rise and bake. Super-easy finger food dinner that can be eaten in the yard while running through the sprinklers. (Yes, I have summer on my mind…. it is cold here.)

Soft Pretzels
2 LB
1 1/4 cups water
3 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp salt
1 egg yolk
1 Tbsps oil
1 tsp lemon juice
2 Tbsps sugar
1/8 tsp white pepper
1 Tbsps active dry yeast

Glaze
1 egg white
1 Tbsp water

Toppings
kosher salt or sesame seeds or parm sprinkles

Use dough setting. Remove from breadmaker when done.
Punch down and on a lightly floured surface cut the dough into 16 equal pieces. Roll each piece of dough into a rope about 16″ long and shape into a pretzel.

Place the pretzels on a greased baking sheet 1 1/2″ apart. Brush with combined egg white and water. Sprinkle with toppings. Bake in preheated 375 degree (F) oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until gold brown.

I love the breadmaker, I’m making bread right now! Someone asked for maker recommendations, and after much review, I opted for the Panasonic SD-yd250, and I love it. It was under $100 when I got it. I have read that some of the best breadmakers are the ones like moneysavingmom just got though, I believe those are the top of the line, brand wise, but that was out of my budget at the time and having never tried breadmakers before I was hesitant to go right to the more exp. brands. My panasonic breadmaker has been awesome though, I really love it and always recommend it to friends asking about breadmakers. I know they’re a bit expensive, but totally worth it if you love fresh bread, it’s super quick to just through all the ingredients in, and let it do all the work!

Crystal: thank you so much for the recipe. I made these rolls last night and my boys gobbled them up. I rolled all the dough-balls out and put half in the freezer. I was afraid we would have too many leftover and they wouldn’t get ate. Should have baked them all. My husband commented that this was a definite “make again” recipe. Again, much thanks for all you do!

Crystal,
I have had a Zojirushi for 7 years and I love it. I use it about 4 times a week. Here’s a link to a recipe for Cinnamon Swirl Bread we eat on a regular basis:

I made this recipe today and it was AMAZING. The only addition was that I added 2 heaping teaspoons of gluten since I used freshly ground whole wheat flour for half the flour. Loved it!! In answer to some of the questions about bread machines, I have a vitamix and grind my own flour, but I use a Breadman Ultimate Plus machine. I got it at Walmart.com for $60-$70 and have been really happy with it. It has a stainless steel finish and does well with whole wheat bread.

My parents bought me this EXACT same bread machine, and I had NO bread baking experience, it was just always something I wanted to try. I wasn’t expecting such an awesome machine for my first one! It took me a few trials to nail down white bread, but I’ve managed to find a good, fast and easy one. I’m thrilled that you’ve asked for good recipes because I have been looking to broaden my horizons!

I also have a trusted Hawaiian dinner roll recipe that I’ll be posting this next week when I make oven ribs
