The beauty of this recipe is in the timing. While traditional rolls must be baked within a few hours of making the dough, refrigerator rolls contain more sugar and less salt, creating a softer dough that is simply mixed together and placed in the fridge for several hours or days. The dough isn’t even kneaded! As it is such a soft dough, it becomes easier to shape once it has been refrigerated. For a cook on Thanksgiving, this is genius! Whip up the dough Monday, stick it in the fridge, and then forget all about it for days.

The second amazing thing about this dough is that it can sit, all rolled out and rising, for up to five hours! That’s right, people. Do the math. That means you can roll out that dough even before you stick the turkey in the oven! Cross “make rolls” right off that list of yours first thing, because it can be done before the teenagers show their faces for their late-morning bowl of cereal. Truly, these rolls are genius. And the end result? Really, is there anything better than a hot roll fresh out of the oven, slathered with butter and homemade jam?
