I'm cheating with my dinner rolls

[ Edited ]

I like to bake bread, mostly around the holidays.  My niece and nephew are hosting an early thanksgiving meal this weekend.  Year ago I made a copycat recipe of Texas Roadhouse rolls and they were pretty good.  So of course that is what my niece asked me to bring.  My shedule is pretty tight this week, and then I started to worry about the dough not rising, etc.  So my husband said, why don't we just go buy some, the restaurants is only a few minutes from here.  So that's what we're doing!  I'll make extra cinnamon butter - that's easy to do and really the best part of those rolls Smiley Happy

 

No one will know!  so shhhh Smiley Happy

I can't tell you what you want to hear. But, store bought dinner rolls, of course, are nothing like beautiful homemade dinner rolls. I'd let them know, too busy to make vs. substituting them with store bought.

Good Move!

I did not know they sold the dinner rolls separately. 

Please repackage them so your niece and nephew think that you made them.

No judgement here.  

 

When you get to your niece's, stick the rolls in a warm oven for a couple of minutes while everything else is getting put out on the table/buffet.  If you want to  gild the lily, brush the tops with a little melted butter upon removing them from the oven.  You can still serve the cinnamon butter along side them.

@Knit-Chick Hmmm, I did not know you could buy them from the restaurant.  Do they reheat OK?  

How about freezing them would that work?  

 

I am an hour from the nearest restaurant but I would purchase instead of making from scratch.   The one and only time I tried using yeast, it was a flop and a huge waste of ingredients, never tried again....fear of failure, I guess.
