Thanksgiving was celebrated in our home with extended family for many years. As nephews and nieces are starting their own families they want me to bring my "Grandma's Hot Rolls" (parker house rolls). Do you have any suggestions for doing this with several hours of car travel time? Of course at home they were the last thing out of the oven before we sat down to Thanksgiving dinner. If I cook them in advance it would have to be the day before since we leave early Thanksgiving morning. We always enjoyed left over rolls for breakfast the next morning but not really what you want on the dinner table. Maybe I should just opt for a more sturdier bread?
They should be fine the next day. Put then on a pan, tent lightly with aluminum foil, and reheat in a 350°F oven for about 10 to 15 minutes. Brush with melted butter when you take them out of the oven. I guarantee they'll be close enough to fresh-baked that no one will complain! PJH
