Dense Rolls

Toast

Some "home cooking" style restaurants here in the south bake some huge, but dense yeast rolls that are very popular.  I can only seem to make fluffy rolls.  How do you get dense?  It is just a matter of not letting them proof very long?

 

Thanks

I'd love to know your recipe for fluffy rolls and maybe it can be made denser.  I'm a little tongue in cheek here because,seriously, many of the posts (some of mine included) are questions about how to make fluffy rolls!

Ha!  I won't inflict it on you....there are a number of threads here about one fluffy roll or another, and people say they're wonderful, so I'd be embarrassed to add another. I want a heavy roll.  It's not just me...I asked a friend today what his favorite dinner roll was and he blurted "heavy yeast rolls".  Maybe the sensation of heaviness is just a lot of butter or lard......
