VIRGINIA LIGHT ROLLS Makes 16 dinner rolls
This basic all-white dinner roll dough is slightly sweet and fluffy, producing tender
rolls with that well-loved, good buttery flavor. I have given directions here for shaping
the dough into finger rolls, but there are many shapes to choose from (see Technique:
How to Shape and Bake Soft Dinner Rolls). Decide which whimsical shape you like
and have a go. You can put seeds on these if you like. You can also prepare these
ahead of time as Brown-and-Serve Dinner Rolls.
