Lion House Rolls Recipe (+VIDEO)

Lion House Rolls are known around the world for their incredible texture and flavor. I’ve made this Lion House dinner roll recipe so many times that I’ve learned some tricks that I will share with you in the directions. Great for Thanksgiving, Easter, or any occasion.

The Lion House Rolls are my favorite rolls HANDS DOWN!

If you aren't familiar with the Lion House, it is a restaurant in Utah that is known for its food and especially its rolls. Everything on the Lion House menu is amazing but my favorite recipe is still their rolls.

They are so moist and the texture is amazing. Last time I was visiting my sister Shelly in Utah she made these.

I think she made her rolls extra large because she only got 12 rolls out of the batch. Imagine how big those would be.

I remember sitting and eating my roll and thinking there could not be a better roll recipe in the whole world.

My sister has five boys so I love being around her house full of teenage boys because it's a little glimpse in the future for me.

Her boys are good boys full of energy (and hormones) always headed to a game or practice for one of their sports.

She is constantly cooking and feeding them hearty food trying to satisfy their raging appetites.

I laughed when I saw a tray of sandwiches in the fridge. She makes a tray, a whole tray, of huge sandwiches for them to "snack" on throughout the day.

What I learned is that my food bill is going to be huge in 10 years!

I know Thanksgiving should be all about the turkey, but for me it's all about the rolls. I’m a sucker for a warm homemade roll with butter slathered all over it.

These Lion House rolls are legendary…for a reason.

Yes. You can freeze shaped rolls for later use. After the first rise, shape the rolls but do not rise again. Instead, place rolls on a baking sheet and immediately place in freezer. When dough is frozen solid, remove rolls from pan and place in a plastic bag, squeeze excess air out of bag and seal. Rolls can be frozen for 3 weeks.
