SWEET DINNER ROLLS

SWEET DINNER ROLLS

The holidays are looming large on the horizon and nothing complements a great meal like dinner rolls.  These rolls are homemade and quite good.  The recipe comes from recipes.com.  Olivia tried it and as you can see they turned out great.  The dough is made in a bread machine.  I like that because kneading bread can be an inexact science at best and kneading the dough too much can make the rolls tough.  Try this recipe and I think you will find it a great addition to your holiday table.

ITALIAN PARMESAN BREAD MACHINE BREAD

ITALIAN PARMESAN BREAD MACHINE BREAD
Olivia and I are both very fond of Italian food.  When Olivia was a young girl she had her own hand cranked pasta machine and made every variety imaginable of homemade pasta.  It was great!  That is just how much we like Italian.  Olivia and I both have bread machines too and enjoy making a wide variety of breads.  This recipe is definitely worth making to accompany your favorite homemade pasta dish.  The ingredients are common items you probably have in the pantry anyway.  The taste will be anything but common!  Enjoy!
