Identify Basic Recipe?

I get these rolls from a local store.  They are purchased frozen.  After toasting, the outside is wonderfully crispy, and the inside is light and airy. 

Can anyone steer me in the direction I need to go to make these myself?  I have no bread baking experience, but I am fearless!

Without any idea of what kind of roll you've purchased, it's really hard to figure out any kind of recipe to give you. However, if you really want to start learning how to bake bread, there are some books that just might help you in starting your search.

"The Bread Bible" by Rose Levy Berenbaum

"Josey Baker Bread"

"Della Fattoria Bread" by Kathleen Weber

I suggest that you borrow any or all of these books from your local library to see if their instructions make enough sense that you can continue in your ambition to bake bread. When you determine that you still have that curiosity and fire to bake bread, you can use the archived threads here on TFL to fill in the blanks or lead you in new directions. Have fun baking!

Quite the tall order!  :). 

I will research the books you mentioned and choose one to start with.

Thanks!
