20 Best Homemade Rolls For Thanksgiving (2023 Updated)

I paid $29. 89 (more than triple the retail price of 4. 69 on the package) for two 12-packs of New England frankfurt rolls (no wonder no shipping charge). The box arrived undamaged however the bottom package was flattened and unusable.

Being from New England, I grew up on this type of roll for hot dogs, clam rolls and lobster rolls and was willing to pay way too much for a taste of home. They are not available in Colorado (bakery manager looked at me like I had 6 heads when I asked about them).

Guess I’ll have to get used to regular hot dog rolls because I won’t be ordering these online again! Although the 12 undamaged rolls were yummy, the end cost of $2. 50 per roll price for the usable ones is way beyond unreasonable.

I haven’t had these since the last time I was in Maine. 50 yrs. ago. We went every summer for 2 weeks to see family. I have no idea why these can’t be made everywhere. The hotdog or lobster salad fits in perfect without destroying the bun.

You can also toast these on the outside like you would a grilled cheese. Pricey, but it’s going to be great comfort food.

It was similar to soft bread… I think I prefer eating hot with a regular bun. Thank you for allowing me to try this. It was a good try.

I’m not someone that eats a lot of bread because of the high carbs but when I do it’s organic bread and this is not organic. My husband buys this because everyone but me in the house likes it. My 9-year-old daughter loves this bread, I’m guessing because it’s sweet.

I will occasionally eat one with her and I feel they’re okay. I originally was going to give this just 3 stars because I don’t think there’s anything superior about these rolls to any other dinner rolls but I read the company story and history located on back of the packaging and included in my 2 pictures, take a look.

This Taira family company was founded in the 1950’s while their founder, Robert Taira was living in Hilo, Hawaii. So it is in fact a true Hawaiian roll;). Now manufactured in Torrance, California. The good news is there’s no high fructose corn syrup, artificial sweeteners, or dyes but there is sugar.

It has 5 grams of regular sugar per roll, I try to only buy things sweetened with organic sugar, stevia, agave, honey, or some other natural source. Unfortunately, my husband doesn’t share the same feelings when it comes to food choices.

For those of you that eat dairy-free foods, there is dairy in the ingredients, butter milk. I try to stay away from dairy due to lactose intolerance, lactose is in cow milk.

These are The. Best. Sweet. Rolls. Ever. I have tried other brands’ sweet rolls, store brand and name brand versions, more expensive, less expensive, and none can compare. These are just the perfect softness, that flaky layer connecting the rolls, just the ideal sweetness to buttery flavor ratio, and not any fake butter flavor either, whole heartedly real flavor.

I eat them as a snack regularly and then of course they’re great as the dinner roll to any meal really, so delicious. Best sweet roll out there! Oh yeah, hot or room temp, doesn’t matter, equally delicious.

These dinner rolls become so hard to find around the holidays as they’re a ggreat addition to any dish and a little sweet. I preferably like these with dishes that contain gravy’s, potatoes, chicken, Turkey, something a bit more savory.

I slice these in the middle and will add a slice of ham also! After the holidays with all the leftovers. They’re super affordable and come in smaller packages also. Walmart in my area has a 2pack and 12 in case you wanted to try it out before you purchased the entire 24 pack.

Moral of the story, if you see one of these rolls at a dinner table just know you’re going to eat GOOD at that moment.

These rolls are amazing! They’re definitely worth the work. We have them at holidays and special occasions. Our guests would be very disappointed if they didn’t get them- they’re the first thing they ask about.

I’ve let mine rise for too long. I’ve not let them rise enough. They’re still delicious. Be careful once they’ve risen though as it is easy to deflate them if you touch them. I’m very careful when removing the plastic and I spray it very well.

You’ll see in the instructions what I mean. They need to be put out to rise covered with oil sprayed plastic wrap. I’ve deflated a few and guess what. they are still delicious, just a little flat. Highly recommend and buy early around the holidays.

They go quick for good reason.

These are addictive and wonderful. I put them on a greased cookie sheet, add a small dollop of butter on top of each one (while frozen) cover them with saran wrap and put them in a warm place to rise for a few hours.

after they rise, I add some Italian seasonings and a shot of garlic salt and bake them for 20 minutes. Seriously, i have to make myself walk away from them lol They’re not sweet like Hawaiian rolls but they do have a VERY SLIGHT sweet taste.

It is not overpowering or off putting. DELICIOUS!!!.

I am a serious baker of cakes, cookies, pies, and quick breads. I am just learning how to bake bread with yeast and these frozen dinner rolls are PHENOMENAL. So easy to proof and bake. Tastes delicious.

My whole family loves them. There are directions on how to shape them into Parker rolls, clover rolls, etc. I think you can monkey bread and jelly doughnuts out of these rolls. I don’t know why they aren’t more popular!!!.

Finally jumped onto the tiktok trend and did the chicken nugget parm sliders. they were absolutely incredible! The family loved them ❤️ I love how the bread turned out nice and crisp when I baked them in the oven.

I would definitely recommend grabbing some at the store and trying. I know if you don’t want to try the trend there is always butter or by itself the bread is still incredible and delicious! Kings Hawaiian Original Sweet Rolls (32 oz.

32 Count).

The best. The taste is heavenly. My toddler loves them and they are the perfect size. I put Peanut Butter and Jelly inside. I cannot find any area of improvement. They are truly a hit. Especially over the holidays.

Not the healthiest choice, but why change a good thing?.

I love Kings Hawaiian original sweet rolls. I have tried other brands but always come back to these. They just didn’t come close to the taste. They are always yummy and soft. I made ham and cheese sliders with the last pack I purchased and it turned out amazing.

My fiance wants more. I usually only by these as a treat and they are worth it.

These are a staple at my house for all holidays. Or when I want an amazing dinner roll. The sweet fluffy taste is never a disappointment. I can eat them straight out of the bag cold with nothing on them or from the oven with a little butter, either way is fine.

A serving size is 1 roll, and 90 calories with 2 grams of fat, 15 mg cholesterol, 180 sodium, 16 carbs and 3grams of protein. So they are not that nutritional, but they were not ment to eat at every meal.

If you have any left over. I have made sliders with them. They are very affordable compared to other brands and can be purchased at any grocery store. This is a must buy!!.

I mean who doesn’t like these? Why am I reviewing this? Lol that’s honestly how I feel. I feel like these are a thing that everyone has heard of and everyone likes. I’ve never met anyone who didn’t like this brand and I’ve never been to a holiday dinner party where these weren’t somehow thrown in the mix.

The softest bread and a mildly sweet taste make these a great compliment to many things. Serve with sweet or savory. You can’t go wrong.

Hawaiian sweet rolls have to be my favorite treat. They are soft, slightly sweet, and have that melt in your mouth taste. Every holiday or special occasion, I make sure to purchase several packages since they are very popular here.

Some people heat them in the oven but I can munch on them as is. The rolls can be a little pricey but it is worth it. The cost range from $3. 99-$4. 99 depending on your area. I 100% recommend.

I love “Pączki”aka Bismarcks/Filled donuts but sometimes I am not in the mood for all the sweetness. this is where I indulge in these right out of the bag because of such perfect sweetness, lightness, oh, just soft and fluffy.

Pull them apart & make Ham & Cheese OR Meatball Sliders AND keep 2 together for a double hotdog bun, keep 4 together for the untimate sandwich, take one & cut across for open faced sandwiches – great for slow eaters & kids.

“To enjoy them warm, keep all the product inside the container and just remove the plastic wrapping! Place this into a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 2-3 minutes for the rolls and 3-5 minutes for the bread, depending on how warm you want it.

You will then have a sweet smelling home to enjoy your rolls. You can also microwave the rolls for about 5-10 seconds in standard microwaves by wrapping it in a damp paper towel. ” “Our Classic French Toast recipe brings out the warm spice you want with our Original Hawaiian Sweet Rolls you love.

I can’t imagine that anyone would not love these rolls. They’re delicious. They’re great with meals, weeknight or holiday even. They make yummy slider buns. I like to bake them til they’re crispy outside.

The inside stays soft and pillowy and with a little butter, they are perfect. My kids eat them from the pack with ham and cheese in the middle. They’re great hot or not.

Initially, the pack of rolls they put in my car looked liked it had been dragged on the floor. There was green mold that as evident upon viewing the rolls as. I pointed it out to shopper, and they replaced it with another pack.

Please train shoppers to pay attention to the items that are perishable. Such as Rotten fruits/Veggies and mold on bread. Thank you!.

Can’t get enough of these! These remind me of french bread with the crunchy outer layer and soft, slightly dense interior. How anyone could not like these is beyond me. For the first time I feel like I’m eating real bread again! I have been scouting out the grocery stores, buying up all of the inventory when I find them.

Please never stop making and carrying these in the grocery stores. These are absolutely DELICIOUS with a FABULOUS texture!!! Hubby adores these, too!.

These rolls are delicious and the closest thing to a regular bakery roll. My husband, who is not gluten-free, enjoys these as well. They are great in the panini maker and great for sandwiches. The ingredient list is shorter than most, which is great because it doesn’t include a lot of problem ingredients.

Best part – no pea protein. Thank you Udi’s for making a simple, tasty roll. Our whole family appreciates it!.

I’m giving it 4 stars because it’s the only bread item I could find in Hy-Vee Walmart that doesn’t have corn, wheat, gluten, soy or dairy in it. I had hoped to use it for sliders but it came out hard as a rock so I changed my plan but then it softened by the time I was ready to eat it so FYI it is hard then softer.

If you try to use the microwave it gets really chewy lol so I don’t suggest that. I will probably repurchase to have something a little quicker I can use.

Honestly growing up my aunt would always use these to make like burger sliders and other things. They definitely are great they’re so soft they taste amazing and fresh every time they’re super affordable.

The only thing I don’t really like about them is that they’re hard to find and dangerously high in calories.

Another weakness. This bread is so sweet and soft. I have to really use my discipline not to eat a whole bag at once lol I will never stray from these. Perfect for sliders and little turkey and cheese finger sandwiches.

These are perfect paired with foods from the holidays. I enjoy having these rolls with ham and dipped in gravy. I have also had these sweet rolls with chicken salad before. The bread is extra soft and yummy when warmed up.

These rolls are AMAZING! You can find them in the frozen section of your grocery store. They are so easy to make, you can let them thaw and proof overnight in the fridge or the day you plan to bake them.

For day of baking, you put them in your baking dish, covered with saran wrap sprayed with non stick, 3-5 hrs before you plan to bake them. They can proof on your counter. Bake time is only 12-15 mins.

The come out so soft and fluffy. Absolutely delicious! Nothing like having fresh baked rolls.

Sooo good! It does take time for them to rise but soo worth the wait. They are affordable a little over $3 for 24 rolls. I wouldn’t change a thing about them. Great for Thanksgiving dinner! Highly recommend you give them a try!.

The best frozen dinner rolls! I do the regular rise method, they take about 3 hours to rise when I’m doing a lot of cooking and the house is heated. If it’s just normal temperature in the house, they take closer to 5 hours.

They bake up beautify, soft on the inside, with a chewy and buttery crust. Plus, they are huge! They taste a lot like my Grandma’s homemade Buns. Yummy!.

These dinner rolls are perfect. Easy and convenient. Cook perfectly every time by the instructions. The dough and yeast taste is perfect. The texture is perfect. With a dab of butter or without, always amazing.

The best part of all is their perfect size. These SMALLER dinner rolls are what every true blooded American loves. With the Fourth of July approaching in two days, I thank you for being an American. We eat these multiple times a week with dinner.

My four kids and I, a single dad, usually devour the entire pan in one sitting. These rolls in their taste, texture, and size are a model for all rolls around the world for dinner, lunch, or BREAKFAST!!! A breakfast roll this size, perhaps rolled in a spiral with…hmmm…cinnamon…and, of course a delicious icing…such a breakfast roll would fly off the shelves and make tons of moolah.

But alas…life is not fair. It is a lonely world for these perfect cinnamon rolls with their perfect smaller size. If only they had a breakfast cinnamon roll like them in the world to keep them company.

Okay any neigh sayers are. forget them. These rolls have been a family tradition since my grandmother. While my great grandmother made and baked her rolls from scratch ; my maternal grandmother liked to keep it simple with Sister Schubert’s roll and allow her more time for everything else and lots of creative sides as well.

This year, I want to kick Sistwr S rolls up a notch with some melted butter and rosemary and basically top them and pass them off as semi homemade and amazing. Can you please provide directions for taking the frozen , thawed rolls and when to add the butter and seasoning on top? Maybe at the end, adding about f 5 minutes baking after topping ? Thanks!.

While picking up a few last minute items on Thanksgiving Eve. I ran across these rolls, what caught my eye is the fact that they were packaged different than the usual brown & serve rolls I generally buy, I thought to myself what the heck I’ll give them a try? I followed the easy instructions on the package and presto they were ready to serve, a pat of I can’t believe it’s not butter.

After one bite I was hooked. They are simply delicious. My Husband loves them too. These have become my go to rolls. Not just for the Holidays but dinner time as well. Thank you so much!.

I really love the German Rye rolls. They are so very different from the things one finds in the USA! I’ve always found American breads unpalatable, especially the white spongy Wonderbread types: You wonder if it is really bread! When I studied at the Freie Universitaet Berlin 1969-70 German bread and rolls were a major foodgroup for me — that and cheap Lambrusco wine, which they used to sell in automats on street corners.

I basically lived off the stuff, because I was spending all my money on German books and on color film. (I took 3400 pictures in two weeks!) These rye rolls are more substantial than the white and very light German breakfast rolls.

They have a wonderfully crunchy crust! I eat them for lunch rather than breakfast, and they taste great and are very filling. I very highly recommend them!!! If you were to sell the very light German breakfast rolls also, I would buy them also, but eat them at breakfast time.

Wonderful brochen ! Light rye flavor and soft chewy inside and crusty outside. I baked a little longer for a harder crust as I am used to buttermilk brochen which are a bit harder and denser. My family’s traditional Christmas Eve dinner is German Veal brats, Bavarian potato salad and brochen.

I was not up for baking the brochen this year, so I ordered these instead and they made a great replacement. I will order them again and again.

These beautiful breads take me back to the early 1960s and the many meals my family and I enjoyed together during our years in Germany. The smell, feel, and the taste make me think of Continental breakfasts in picturesque German villages, hearty stews in boisterous restaurants, and ordinary everyday meals in neighboring villages.

I was so young that I didn’t realize bread wasn’t going to taste that way when we moved back to the U. S. Bread Village allows me to relive those familiar and delicious moments again. Thank you!.

This is by far one of my favorites from the bakery at Target! It’s soo soft and goes perfect for any meal! I would definitely recommend these rolls to anyone! I like to make breakfast sandwiches with these rolls and everyone loves it!.

I stumbled on these little morsels of joy in a quick trip to target last week and they were DELICIOUS! I’m looking forward to picking them up again for an upcoming brunch!

This was soooo good. And easy. Just 10 minutes in the oven and you have fresh crusty bread. Excellent flavor and texture!!

I’m always searching for a whole wheat dinner roll for holiday gatherings, and have a tough time finding them. Recently, my local Walmart began carrying these and I’m so happy! They are delicious, fresh, soft, and very tasty.

Finally. something other than bland white flour dinner rolls. These are a favorite for my family.

I love these rolls! I’m watching my figure and can still enjoy these because they only have 110 calories each. They are great with vegan butter, and these are vegan as well which I can’t always find, especially at the low calorie count.

I usually toast up half of one as a dinner roll, or use it for breakfast sandwiches, they are great for those!.

For the person that said possible frozen at one point they obviously didn’t read the description that it’s frozen. LOL I love this bread. I keep it frozen and pop it in my mini oven and follow the instructions and comes out delicious.

I also make mini subs with it. Super happy Target carries it.

fantastic, easy as pie to make this dough. I make a great cinnamon bun (minus the icing) 2 cups dark brown 2tsp cinnamon 1/2 tsp cayenne powder and a ton of butter. Awesome and so easy!!

As I was putting the bag away I realized I already had a couple more from previous orders. This dough makes the best and easiest cinnamon buns ever, and I’m a former Pastry Chef. I always share with my next door neighbor and he’s one happy camper.

The stars are for the “speedy” delivery. Wow! I have to make Crab Bisque today but hope to make my Lemon Cheese Braid tomorrow. Will let you know how it turns out. Thank You for being there when I needed the sweet dough mix.

Sheila.

I purchased these rolls on a whim. What a pleasant discovery! With the resealable bag, you can make as many or as few as you need in 9 to 11 minutes! These rolls tasted as fresh & homemade the first time I baked them down to the last roll! Highly recommend! Reasonably priced also! It’s a win-win! Taste awesome plus great value!.

Purchased at Thanksgiving time. Gave some to family, made sliders, garlic breads, little sammichs etc. Lasted 4 months in my freezer without crystals forming or loosing flavor. If you have children around these are great for little hands for burgers and sammichs.

Just take out what you need because they are all separate in the bag. Excellent purchase!.

These rolls are awesome! The price is phenomenal. We had them for Thanksgiving and had plenty left for Christmas. Everywhere else they are much more expensive. Do not hesitate to buy them. Once I opened the bag, I put the remainder in a freezer bag.
