Fairy Rolls

These no-fail Fairy Rolls are easy to make and are the perfect light and fluffy roll to complement soups, dinner, or holiday meals. The dough also works well for cinnamon rolls or other sweet rolls. 

Do you love having soup and warm rolls on a cool Fall night as much as I do? Last year, we collected some amazing soup recipes from you readers that have become favorites around here. And so this fall, I’m going to be sharing some bread recipes. Because soup and bread must go together, right?

This recipe is called Fairy Rolls. I’m not exactly sure why, but maybe it has to do with the fact that they are light and airy. I kid you not. You could probably eat 10 in one sitting like we do.

CAN I USE WHEAT FLOUR IN THESE? 

Yes! I have used 1/2 wheat flour before with great results. 

This recipe from my mom is a favorite, go-to recipe. When I know I need rolls to turn out, this is the recipe I use. 

SERVE FAIRY ROLLS WITH:

• Crockpot Chicken Chili

• 15-Minute Taco Soup

• Tortellini Veggie Soup 

• Thai Chicken Noodle Soup
