Easier Thanksgiving Bread
You can serve loaves of bread for Thanksgiving dinner too. These are easier because you don't have to spend time shaping rolls. And these recipes either start with a hot roll mix or are super-easy. Or make quick bread that's stirred together at the last minute.
Easiest Bread
Buy packaged brown-and-serve rolls and bake them when the turkey comes out of the oven. Brush with some melted butter when they're done, and they will be delicious.
Refrigerated crescent roll dough makes great rolls, especially if you dress them up a little with grated Parmesan cheese and some dried herbs before rolling. Breadstick doughs are very good, and are easy to season with everything from herbs to cheese. Lots of bakeries and grocery stores also have excellent dinner rolls. Lunds, a store in my area, has these Butterflake Rolls I just can't reproduce in my kitchen, so I buy those and freeze them whenever I'm near one of their stores.
