If Making Rolls is Out of the Question
We all know prepping and pulling off a full Thanksgiving menu is tough—so if you’ve gotta buy rolls (instead of making them) here’s a pro tip. Skip the grocery store—the best place to buy dinner rolls for Thanksgiving is from your locally owned bakery or restaurant.
Local restaurants will often sell unsliced brioche burger buns and bread is your preference you can always find a nice crusty loaf from your local bakery. Be sure to order ahead of time! Call at least a week in advance to place your order.
And finally, don’t forget the butter! We always have Whipped Cranberry Butter on the table.
