One of my favorite times of the year is coming...Easter! As a kid I remember rolling my chocolate eggs down the stairs in my house and being so disappointed they didn't smash into pieces at the bottom.
Now the tradition is to hide plastic easter eggs all over the yard. This is usually done by the grandparents who meticulously fill them with a mixture of candy, money and the odd lottery ticket.
While the kids are frantically running around, I'm thinking about dinner. Glazed ham and all the sides sound perfect but don't forget the dinner rolls!
Don't be intimidated to bake with yeast. I know it can be easier just to buy your rolls from the store, but these are so easy to make and taste much better.
I made my dough before I went to bed, covered it and let it rise in the fridge all night. The cooler temperature slows the rising process down, so next morning all I had to do was add the cheese, divide the dough and let the rolls rise for about another 30 minutes.
Like always, I use Red Star Yeast and because I was making the dough ahead of time I opted for the Active Dry Yeast which has a slower and more regular rise to it. If you started the dough in the morning, then you'd need to use the Quick Rise Yeast.
If you're wondering how I got my rolls to be that shape, all I did was shape my individual pieces of dough into long sausage shapes and tied them like you would tie a knot. Brush them with egg and sprinkle with salt, pepper and fresh rosemary.
These would be just as awesome if they were round balls too, so if you don't have time to be tying knots don't worry.
