These rolls are delicious. A slightly sweet in hearty whole wheat; crusty on the outside and soft on the inside. I did have to add quite a bit of extra flour. I too, made the dough in a bread machine and then baked in the muffin tin, as described after letting the dough rest for about 15 minutes. - 10/4/09

These are so good I ate 2! I am having to make myself not eat another one so I can freeze and save them for later. My family is eating them like they haven't eaten bread before. Excellent!
UPDATE~ I will be making these for Thanksgiving Dinner. They'll replace store bought. The Fam LOVES these. - 10/22/08

The instructions are missing a rise step...the rolls need to rise for about 30 minutes in the muffin cups. Also, 400 degrees is way too hot. Even at 12 minutes, they were slightly black on the bottom, and dry. I tried again at 350 for 13-14 minutes -- perfect! Soft and dangerous. :) - 9/19/11

We had these for Sunday dinner and they were a hit. I saved the leftovers to use as an "on the run" breakfast which worked wonderfully. I made them with brown sugar (don't have white sugar in the house). They are easy and tasty and I will make them again whenever I want a special dinner. - 11/2/09
