I made these rolls last night and my husband loved them. For years he's been asking for rolls "like his Grandmother made." Since I never had said rolls, I'm going by his description. He said there were close except her's had a more yeasty taste. I know her rolls were not sourdough. I've tried everything I can think of except cake yeast. Do you think cake yeast will give rolls a more yeasty taste? I come across it every once in a while, next time I see it I'm going to buy some and give it a try.
Yes, I think cake yeast would give them more yeasty flavor. OR try doubling the amount of instant, and just going through the whole process very quickly - they'll rise like crazy. Worth a try - more yeast, more yeast flavor... PJH
