Refrigerator Rolls
Description
These Refrigerator Rolls are the ultimate backup plan for busy weeknights or unexpected guests. The dough is prepared quickly, then chilled overnight to develop a rich, complex flavor and a tender crumb. Made with simple pantry staples like flour, eggs, sugar, and butter, these rolls bake up golden brown and soft. They are perfect for breakfast, alongside soups, or as a holiday bread. The beauty of this recipe lies in its flexibility; you can keep the dough in the fridge for up to a week, shaping and baking only what you need. Enjoy the fresh-out-of-the-oven aroma and the comforting taste of homemade bread with minimal last-minute effort.Ingredients

Note
This dough keeps well in the refrigerator for about a week, allowing you to bake fresh rolls as needed.
The recipe yields approximately 12 to 15 rolls, depending on the size of the muffin tin and dough balls.
Ensure water is warm (not hot) to avoid killing the yeast.
