The King's Hawaiian sweet rolls are yummy, but probably not up to snuff for the organic local DCUMers.

I think they're gross. Bread should not be sickly sweet.

+1 Everytime I serve these, people think they are homemade. They are wonderful.

Do you think they're great 3-4 hours after they come out of the oven?

Get sister Schubert's in the tins, slather bacon fat on them, dust with salt and herbs. Bake right before the meal. They are amazing!!!

New poster, but why the shock? Dinner rolls are super easy to make.

Sister Schubert's - SO GOOD. If you defrost and have them ready to pop in the oven as soon as everything else is finished they only take about ten minutes... so they don't hog the oven.

Our Thanksgiving host forbids anyone from bringng anything that needs anything in/from the kitchen. I guess that's why I got the request for dinner rolls and folding chairs. Although I'm still in search of the best dinner rolls that don't need to be warm.

The Martha Stewart ones I posted are easy, you can bake them at your home that morning, and do not need to be warm, although you could keep them warm from being baked with a bunch of towels. King's are so sweet that I treat them like a baked good. Sister Schubert's smell amazing, but they don't deliver on the taste.

I would just pick up some snowflake rolls and some of the brioche or Challah rolls at Whole Foods and call it a day if you're not going to use the oven.

+1! So are popovers and biscuits. They each take about five ingredients (unless you add garlic, herbs or cheese), about five minutes to blend and 10-15 minutes to bake.
Scratch is healthier, but some of the ingredients in store-bought stuff are borderline carcinogenic.

+1. They are gross, and their sweetness combined with Thanksgiving flavors sounds vile.

I know the food snobs will just die but we got the best dinner rolls at Safeway last year. I took the tag off and even one of the mom's who is a great cook loved them and ate 3 of them. They were buttered rolls in a 12 pack in the bakery. They were good and I don''t even like bread.

You could also bring or make some fancy herb or honey butter.

When your Thanksgiving contribution is dinner rolls ...

... does that mean your family basically thinks you're kind of a bad cook?

... is there a way to cook them in your car while you make the 2 hour drive to your parents' house?

... is that more or less prestigious than bringing the cranberry sauce?
