These smell so good!

With the holiday season just around the corner, it is a good time to post my recipe for rolls.

Of course dinner rolls are good any time of year. I like to slice them in half from the top down, lay them on their sides with the cut side up, and then top them with sandwich spread. The little open-faced sandwiches are great for appetizers, potlucks and parties.

Dinner Roll Ingredients

1 cup warm water
3 T brown sugar
2 T butter or margarine (cut into small pieces)
1 teas. salt
1 cup whole wheat flour
2 cups unbleached flour
1-1/2 teas. instant yeast

Place the ingredients in your machine.
Set the machine to the dough cycle.
At the end of the cycle, dump the dough onto a floured (or oiled) counter.
Shape it into a nice ball.
Cut the dough into 16 equal pieces.
Shape them into balls and place them in a square 9 x 9 pan (oiled).
Let them rise until double.
Bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes.
Let cool in the pan for about 5 minutes.
Remove and place on cooling rack.

When they are completely cool, they can be frozen to enjoy at a later time.
