    Yum! Thanks, Lina! Will definitely be making these for the holidays! ๐Ÿ˜€

    • Emilie

      Me too!! Lina, I love your recipes!! I make the copycat pizookie almost every weekend! ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

  2. Heather C

    Think we could make these whole-wheatโ€ฆ Or perhaps with half white and half whole wheat?

  3. shirley

    My kids like the Hawaiian sweet rolls. What would you change to make the sweet rolls? Thanks.

    • Frecklelily

      Check Pinterest! I typed in DIY Hawaiian sweet rolls and several recipes popped up! HTH!

      • Lina (Hip's Modern Martha)

        Great idea thanks! I haven’t tried to make any of those yet so Shirley let us know if you try. ๐Ÿ™‚

    • Just Me

      I use a recipe from allrecipes.com. It’s called Portuguese sweet bread. I know it’s wrong but I add extra sugar and mix in my bread maker but bake in the oven

  4. Lory

    Yummy!! โ™กโ™ก TY Happy Thanksgiving ๐Ÿ˜š

  5. Lady D.

    Thank you for the recipe, just want to remind everyone to check your bread/dough making directions on your specific KitchenAid or other stand mixer, (this could be done in a bread machine dough cycle too), I know that mine specifically states which two settings can be used safely with the dough hook without damaging the motor, use of any other settings can damage the unit and those suckers are too expensive to mess up accidentally. Happy Baking ๐Ÿ™‚ You can find the answer to this question by looking in the directions/cookbook that came with your unit. If you can’t find yours, you can always check websites like https://www.manualsonline.com/

    They look delicious and beautiful, Lina!

    • Lina (Hip's Modern Martha)

      Thanks Julia!

  7. Lauren

    Do you have to cover it to let it rise? If so, with what? A dry towel, a wet towel or plastic wrap?

    • Lina (Hip's Modern Martha)

      Good question! I didn’t and noticed the top to be a little dry so next time I’ll try plastic wrap. Thanks

  8. Jen

    I’m wondering about making ahead for Christmas Eve dinner. Thoughts on the best way to do this? Do I need to bake as instructed and then reheat? Or assemble and then bake before serving?

    • Lina (Hip's Modern Martha)

      So if your making ahead just by 24 hours or less, just make dough as directed and place dough balls in a greased pan and cover with plastic wrap. Then bake when ready.
      For longer –>You could also make dough as directed, freeze dough balls , then thaw 3-4 hours in a covered greased pan, then bake.

      Hope that helps!

      Hope this helps!

      • Afton

        Do you put them in the fridge if you are making ahead by a few hours or leave them out?
