A hint of sweetness in these tender milk rolls brings in many compliments. Served warm with butter or jam, this recipe is a big hit at any meal. They reheat nicely, too. —Merle Dyck, Elkford, British Columbia

Milk Roll Tips

Can you make these milk rolls smaller?

If you'd like to make these rolls smaller or larger, simply decrease or increase the bake time by a few minutes. They also will take slightly less time to double in size on the second rise (or more time if you're making larger rolls).

Can you make milk rolls ahead of time?

Similar to most other dinner roll recipes, milk rolls can be made ahead of time and stored at room temperature in an airtight container for 1-3 days. Or freeze them for up to 6 months. If you want that straight-from-the-oven taste, thaw the rolls if needed, then warm them on a pan in a 350° oven for 3-5 minutes.

What can you serve with milk rolls?

Serve milk rolls with butter (these are our top-rated brands of butter) and homemade jam, Nutella, or a drizzle of honey.
