Best method for thanksgiving roll
I've been tasked with baking rolls for thanksgiving. i'm a competent bread baker but I've never been out of tiwn for the holiday before. I'm leaving wednesday afternoon, about 90 minutes away.
Should I bake ahead, or bake there even if I am risking using an oven I'm unfamiliar with.

My vote would be to bake the rolls early…Tuesday perhaps. Then freeze them. (cool completely, foil wrap, and put into a plastic bag.) Have them completely baked but not overly browned. When the turkey is out of your host's oven, you can put foil wrapped rolls in the oven and re-heat them briefly.
I see other possible problems in making the rolls at your host's house. The unfamiliar oven is probably something you could get around fairly easily with advice from your host, but finding workspace to prep the rolls and getting oven time could be difficult. It surely would be in my small kitchen.
My family really likes the Sweet Potato Rolls recipe from TFL. They are easy to make and freeze very well. Great with the meal and wonderful for turkey sandwiches the next day. Happy Thanksgiving!
