Light and fluffy Steakhouse Dinner Rolls

!!!WARNING!!!   

!!!THESE ROLLS ARE ADDICTIVE!!! 

I finally found a recipe like the super soft and sweet steakhouse dinner rolls.  At least close enough to make me happy.  I've been trying for a long time to find a dinner roll like the ones you find in the steakhouse restaurants.  The ones that are so soft you can't cut them.  They are light, fluffy, sweet, and soft.  I'm excited to share this recipe with others.  As I have warned you...these rolls are addictive.  They are even amazingly soft the next day. 

I've tried so many recipes.  Some of them were good recipes and some not so good.  But I found one that is so good I've stopped tweaking.   I use my bread machine on dough setting but I'm puting the recipe on here for made by hand directions for those who do not have a bread machine.  I hope you enjoy these as much as we have.  Simple- Inexpensive- Delicious.
