That's how we {Roll}



 

Did you notice anything different about this recipe book?
Sadly, it's proof that the electric stove and I had a poor relationship.
Tip:  Plastic melts on a hot stove-top.

I'm joining Linda for the last week of Fall Into Flavor.
So.... I thought I'd share one of my absolute favorite
thunder thigh recipes that can compliment any recipe!



Don't let the above picture spook you.
I really can cook when I follow a recipe set my mind to it.

Of course, I can only eat these once a year.
{Mostly due to my inability to stop at just one.}
Otherwise... Well, Bob and Jillian would make me workout
until I was a human slushy.

This bread recipe {a staple at many meals for years} was one that my mother-in-law first shared with me.
She baked this bread for us to take during communion at our wedding.

Electric bread-maker sham-maker!
It's soooo easy to make and the yummiest bread EVER.
Seriously.

Easy Delicious Rolls

1/2 c. oil
1/2 c. sugar
1/4. c. non-fat dry milk
2 eggs
1 tsp. salt
1 c. lukewarm water with 1 pkg. yeast
About 4 c. flour

 There's no need to knead!  ;)
Simply mix oil, sugar, dry milk, eggs, and salt together.  Add water mixed with yeast.  Add about 4 cups flour {when it is the right consistency}.   Let it stand overnight.  Roll out on floured board till about 1/4 in. thick.  Cut {like a pizza} and roll up like crescent rolls.  Let rise 4 hours.  Bake at 350 for 12-15 minutes. 

If you try them,
let me know whatcha think.

Christmas music is being played {non-stop} in our house these days.
Do you know why?



We are putting up the decorations.
More on that soon...

  6. This made me laugh so much -- I have a cookbook that suffered a similar fate :)

    Those rolls look delish! If I ever conquer my fear of cooking things with yeast, maybe I will try them :)

  12. Well, they look wonderful. I try so hard not to eat too much bread and especially the homemade variety because let's face it...I could eat the whole pan. However, Thanksgiving is around the corner and I'll have a houseful so plenty of people to share with. Or not. : )

  13. I'm so glad to see I'm not the only one! {or maybe I shouldn't be so glad?} ;)

    KD, that was really fast. Most of the work is in letting it sit. ;) This recipe is a perfect compliment to Thanksgiving and Christmas! So simply easy, but so yummm. Glad you enjoyed them. ;)

  14. Although I've vowed not to turn my oven on for the next three months I may have to have my husband carry the toaster oven out to the patio so I can try these :-) I love things that are easy! I love bread! Thanks for sharing!!!

    Oh yeah, and a well worn recipe book only means that it contains some great recipes :)
