Description

In this episode, Kathie is joined by Tiffany from Well Fed Baker to share the story of a cherished family recipe: her great-grandfather’s famous butter rolls. First baked in a small-town Idaho bakery in the 1930s, these buttery, yeasted rolls have been passed down through generations and are still a beloved treat at family gatherings today.

We talk about:

  • The origin and legacy of the butter roll recipe
  • How Tiffany learned to bake them alongside her grandmother
  • Tips for working with rich yeasted dough
  • Fun new ideas (hello, rum-soaked dried fruit and chocolate frosting!)

Whether you’re a nostalgic baker, a fan of vintage recipes, or someone who loves hearing how food connects us to family and place, this episode will warm your heart and maybe inspire you to bake a batch of your own.
