Interesting looking dinner roll recipes

[medtran49]

This site popped up in my daily news feed a few days ago. I started a private message with several people since I can't possibly make all these myself. Morning Glory was involved and felt I should start a thread with the link.

There is an under an hour dinner roll recipe, a gluten free option, a freezer option, sourdough option, plus quite a few other good looking recipes. Honestly, I can't decide which recipe to try, though I'm leaning toward the crescents or the Lion rolls for our U.S. Thanksgiving dinner.

The Garlic Parmesan Pull-Apart Rolls look good.

I swear, I’ve made half of those, I’m sure of it.

The Lion House Rolls also look good.

I would make the dough in my bread machine

An interesting thing is that the concept of dinner rolls doesn't really exist outside of America (so far as I know). My understanding is that it means soft, usually white, rolls. Feel free to correct me!

You don't have rolls with meals? Do you serve regular bread? I don't usually serve bread with meals but as you said many do.

We also don't normally have bread with meals unless we are having pasta with a marinara, meat sauce, Bolognese, etc. But Thanksgiving would be an exception.

Well sometimes we do but we simply call them rolls or bread rolls. There is a host of other names for types of rolls in the UK but that is another topic.

That sounds odd to me since we wouldn't have bread with a pasta dish. Pasta is a carbohydrate so it's not necessary. I don't think in Italy you would be served rolls or bread with pasta either.

Again, another topic.

I serve garlic bread with some pasta dinners and salads.

It's a big thing with the majority of Italian Americans, at least that I know of.

Edited to add that bread in the form of toast is a component of many breakfasts over here.

Okay I am getting ready to go make some "English" muffins.

Most restaurants serve some sort of bread either before or with meals. Biscuits/corn bread/muffins at breakfast. Rolls, small bread loaves, or crusty bread for lunch/dinner. Usually served warm.

This is true. I generally bring that home and serve it with eggs for breakfasts unless we are served bread at an Italian restaurant, then I eat it with my pasta dish. I don't really like to eat bread at dinner/supper for some reason unless it is served with the salad or before the meal and I am super hungry!

It’s just the name “dinner” roll that is unusual to you, is that what you mean?

Bread/rolls are served with virtually any meal you’d order out here. Toast or (American) biscuit with breakfast (depending on the breakfast items ordered, and baskets of bread served almost like a first course in a lot of restaurants, like msmofet mentioned. The late lunch I posted a few days ago (the meatloaf and deep-fried chicken breast) started with a basket of warm dinner rolls.

Garlic bread is almost always served with pasta here - it’d be considered lacking otherwise. As to starch-on-starch, we have noodles and mashed potatoes, and in both Ireland and the UK, chips (fries) almost always accompany lasagna, at least in my experience, which I think is a very good and proper thing!

Oh, and something I’ve documented a few times on here, the Midwest US standard of having buttered white supermarket bread with a couple of forks of spaghetti plopped in and folded over as a little half-sandwich along with the main course of spaghetti.

The warm spaghetti melts the butter, it goes just a little gloppy, and…down the hatch in two bites!

Yes the term 'Dinner roll' doesn't exist here. Rolls aren't served with any meal you order here really. Sometimes in better dining places they will offer a basket of rolls with butter available before the first course. I think that is mainly to keep customers from feeling too hungry whilst waiting! The only exception is with soup. Most folk in the UK would eat soup with some sort of bread to dunk. In the old days 'greasy spoon' cafes would serve bread and butter with a fry up but that has died out really.

Soft rolls are normally eaten as thing in themselves, at lunch or sometimes at breakfast, split and filled. So, a ham roll, a bacon roll, a cheese roll etc. You would probably call that a sandwich?
