    Accidentally came across your channel and so glad I did. The Hawaiian Roll recipe is superb!!! So simple but has the taste of something more difficult. Plan on using more of your recipes. Thank you for sharing.

    Came across this recipe (unexpectedly!) on YouTube yesterday. Made the rolls, as described, and my family LOVES them! Super simple, too! Making another batch to take to work for a co-worker’s birthday tomorrow and thinking of adding a small spoonful of strawberry freezer jam to the top of each. 🙂
