Classic Dinner Rolls – made in less than 1 hour!

Yes… you read that correctly… yeast dinner rolls… in LESS than 1 hour!!  Craziness!!  This recipe is a game changer, an eye opener, one for the books… seriously, it’s just awesome.  I have an unnatural obsession with bread, and dinner rolls… well sometimes I’d like to make my dinner JUST be the rolls.  But, alas, I don’t have a lot of patience, and during the day, usually not much time.  Like many of you, most days, I just don’t have the time or gumption to make dough and let it rise for hours and hours.  So typically, I reach for some frozen rolls.  From now on, I’ll be making these!
