Sour Cream Onion Rolls (or Hamburger Buns) Gourmet Bread Machine Mix

• What are these rolls intended for, dinner rolls or hamburger buns? The mix was designed for dinner rolls, but it makes incredible hamburger buns. They're beautiful, and the flavors are just right for burgers.  Some customers have made loaves with this mix.
• Are these for a sophisticated dinner party, or will my kids like them? I've never tried feeding them to kids, but they make incredible burgers, so I think they would like them. They are definitely worthy of the food page in your local paper.
• Are these really that good? They make fabulous hamburger buns and fine dinner rolls. Except for one four-star review, every review is a five-star.
• Everyone mentions the smell. Is it really that strong?  Ah, the smell of roasting onions. It will remind you of your grandmother's roast beef dinners.  It's not overwhelming. Obviously, most people love it. For me, it's perfect.
• What else does it taste like? They're buttery and soft--the perfect rolls.
• Are they hard to make? No, easy. Put the bread machine on the dough setting, divide the dough into eight rolls for burger buns and 12 for dinner rolls.
• What's the yield? It makes 12 nice dinner rolls or eight large hamburger buns. It can also be made into a large bread loaf. In that case, it's the king of roast beef sandwiches. 
• If I had friends coming over for a backyard barbecue, should I use this mix or make burger buns with a black Russian bread mix? You're going to be famous either way. These have more flavor, but they will never forget the black hamburger buns. Make both; you'll use the extras. It's going to be a fun party. 
• How early do I need to start them? You could make them the day before, and they'll be fresher than those from the store. You'll need to mix the dough--you can use the dough cycle on your bread machine for that.  It will take you 15 to 20 minutes to form your rolls and an hour to rise. But give yourself an extra hour or so for interruptions and doorbells--life happens and you don't rush bread.  These are worth it.

Knowing that life is busy, I would make these the night before. I would put the mix in the bread machine on the dough cycle when I started making supper. After supper, I would form the rolls, let them rise, and bake.

You'll love these soft, scrumptious rolls. Your family will love the combination of sour cream and sweet onions. They will make your dinners memorable and your barbecues extraordinary.

Impress your guests. These rolls are so soft and buttery that they melt in your mouth and are the perfect complement to your beef, potatoes, and gravy dinner.
