Want to learn how to make the world's best rolls? Check out these tips from our featured bloggers, then make your way to the featured recipes for delicious Thanksgiving (and anytime) roll recipes.

Lacey's Tip:

 

I like to use whole wheat pastry flour because it has a light texture and density than whole wheat flour, but still has a lot of nutrients.

Sarah's Tips:

I like to use milk and butter in my dinner rolls to make them incredibly soft, fluffy, and flavorful. My judge of a good roll is if it is perfectly when eaten plain. Butter and jam are tasty additions, but a good roll shouldn't need anything extra!
