Mrs. T, we don't recommend using yeasts specifically labeled "Rapid Rise Yeast" in most homemade bread recipes. While it is helpful if you are in a rush and need to speed up the bread-baking process, we've found that is lacks in flavor and usually does not create the texture we are looking for. A slower rise takes patience but the flavor that develops during a longer rise time is so worth it: deep yeasty flavor is your reward. We're glad to hear these rolls were a success regardless. We hope you give it another try soon! Happy baking! Kye@KAF
