Do you have a very light/fluffy dinner roll recipe?

Does anyone have a super light dinner roll recipe they could share with me? I want to copycat White Castle sliders and my rolls are unfortunately heavy no matter how much butter and sugar I use! Is there a secret flour or technique?

Hey Judson- i think the secret there is lots and lots of butter (and probably oil too) as well as some sort of dough stabilizer (which helps the dough maintain structure with more air inside, so it is fluffier and coincidentally uses less flour and such). Such is industrialized bread, I believe.
This makes a really good light roll

there are some good tips in that recipe, and another they don't mention is not overworking the dough- you want less gluten development.

I'll check that out - thanks!  The main things I am trying to avoid are the dough stabilizers and vegetable shortening.  Butter, I don't mind!
