It took me several tries to proof the yeast, finally followed the directions on the yeast package and used only a fraction of the sugar. Final baked results were the same as several other's, dense and doughy rolls.

I made these twice. Thought maybe yeast was the problem although it was still in date. Used different yeast and they still turned out like hockey pucks. So very dense. The dough itself was picture perfect. Followed recipe exactly. I wouldn't even rated these but the site is making me. So forget the one star rating. It should be a big fat 0.

These were absolutely delicious!! I made three batches on Thanksgiving morning, sat them out at 1 p.m. and every single one was gone by 3 p.m. that evening!! They are easy to make but if you are like me and the house temp stays in the mid 60's, heat your oven to about 150* and then open the door until it is comfortably warm in the oven and put your dough in there to rise...HUGE improvement! I also made another batch yesterday and cut them into smaller rolls (a pizza cutter does wonders for cutting dough and they turned out perfect too! Definately a keeper and a staple for our holiday tables.

My daughters and I started to make these Wednesday before Thanksgiving and were going to freeze overnight. Realized that I forgot bread for son's b-day celebration wed. night so decided to just cover with plastic wrap and put unbaked rolls in fridge for the few hours until ready to bake. They did rise a second time because of this but we baked them according to directions. They were beautiful and quite large when they came out of the oven, but my family loves fresh yeast bread so there was no problem there. Yes the rolls were dense but we loved them like this. I thought I would have leftovers with 24 rolls and only 12 people but my boys and 2 brothers-in-law fought over extras! I am not normally a bread maker but these had easy to follow directions and best of all PICTURES!!!

My great aunt used to make Parker House rolls from scratch every year during the holidays. Saw this recipe in your magazine and thought I'd give it a try. Yummy! My family loved it! They ate so many rolls that no one could eat pie! Nice to know that you can make this in advance and freeze it at such a busy time of year. That's exactly what I plan to do for Christmas dinner. Thanks, Alex, for not only the great recipe but also bringing back some wonderful memories.

Great recipe! I made these the day before and froze them overnight. I took them out of the freezer three hours before baking to thaw, and then baked them at 375F. I removed them when they were golden brown. These make a lot of rolls! I made a half-batch and still had more than I needed for seven adults. One trick I used was to use a pizza cutter to cut my dough. It is fast and did a great job cutting the rolls.

These rolls were great! I used unbleached all-purpose flour. They were not so uniform and perfect as Alex's, but the taste was great! So much better than store bought rolls!

These rolls were incredible! This recipe makes the most beautiful bread dough. They were so fluffy when baked. I allowed my dough to rise covered in a large bowl in the microwave with another smaller bowl of water beside it. My microwave is located directly above my oven so the heat from the turkey may have helped the rise a little. This recipe is a keeper!
