I don’t know about you, but I love all the preparations for Thanksgiving dinner. The lists, the planning, the trick of getting everything to the table while it’s still hot – there’s something beautiful about the way that it all comes together. Anything I can do early makes Thanksgiving Day that much less stressful.
This coming week I’m making my favorite dinner rolls, the ones that will be on our table. I’ll make a big batch and freeze them so that they’ll only need to be warmed on Thanksgiving Day. Let me make the day easier for you with these rolls! They’re naturally leavened and enriched with milk, butter, and egg. They’ve rightly earned the moniker of ‘cloud rolls’ at our house – they’re soft and squishy while still being substantial. Because they’re sourdough, if you have any left after dinner they will make outstanding slider buns for all that leftover turkey!
As always, my house sourdough will also be available and nice to have on hand for the day after your festivities for an easy meal. Or, if you make your own stuffing, a loaf of homemade sourdough will take it to the next level.
Sourdough rolls and loaves will be available for pickup at Hillsdale College on Thursday, November 16th and at my home on Thursday and Friday, November 16th and 17th. If you have a special request for Thanksgiving, please let me know by email before November 15th! Payment is by cash, check, cashapp, or credit card on hillsdalehearth.com.
