Dinner Rolls

These rolls are fantastic to go with holiday meals, chili, beans. They are light and faintly sweet. You can also use them for left over turkey sandwiches or shredded beef sandwiches.

When I was a kid my mother used to make Parker House rolls to go with holiday meals.  They are something unto themselves!  Soft, buttery, rich, sweet...yum.    As life progressed the home-made Parker House rolls fell by the wayside but the local town bakery made a pretty awesome dinner roll so we were slightly appeased.

Fast forward and I have rediscovered the joy of fresh dinner rolls!  I haven't progressed (or regressed?) to the Parker House rolls yet but I have a feeling I may yet!  In the meantime here is a recipe that you can make the dough for in your breadmaker and then do the final rise in the baking pan and bake.

It is funny how just a few variations in simple ingredients can make such a difference- I think it is the milk and the sugar that make these so soft and yummy!

Since there are no preservatives in them and the rolls are more susceptible to drying out serve them the same day and freeze any lefovers. Or -make them ahead, cool, freeze, reheat...that works too!

Dinner Rolls

Light and fluffy rolls fresh from the oven may make a nice thing to mop up that gravy and they may take a more prominent role beside a soup or a salad course.
