Dinner rolls are ready....come on ..have one
Time got away from you today. You have the main course prepared but want that little something extra to make your mealtime pop.
These little rolls will make everyone come into the kitchen without being called when they are baking. The aroma will flood the entire house with its deliciousness as they bakes.
A lovely part of this part of your meal is that these rolls are a no fuss kind of addition that you can whip up in a hurry. You probably have all of the ingredients right in your pantry. if you are like me, you keep flour in the freezer away from little critters that love to make it their home.
This recipe used no salt. If you wish to have add salt, you can, about 1-2 teaspoons. You could just top with salted butter after they bake if you must have the salt. Our family is on a low sodium diet at present.
"Got any dough?

"I don't even knead that dough."
"Dough is all you knead"

Dough every where.....
Every time I get ready to make dinner rolls or bread from scratch I recall with great humor this story.
My Momma always made a huge batch of dinner rolls for Sunday dinner as our family...Uncle, Aunt, and two cousins, often traveled from Richmond Virginia to our home in Deltaville Virginia for our Sunday meal.
So as usual on Saturday night Momma prepared the dough and set it to rise in our kitchen. Somehow, time got away as it is wont to do, and the dough was forgotten. When we went to the kitchen, there was a river of dough cascading down the front of the kitchen counter and onto the floor!!!!
Momma just began to clean it up and we helped. A new batch was made and all was well.
