Katie's Quick Dinner Rolls

Ever crave fresh baked bread? Yeasty, warm and fluffy, but don't have the time to bake some loaves to go with dinner? Try these rolls, they are terrific and are less of a time commitment than making bread - although I have to say, I super love baking bread and used to do it every weekend, I love waiting for it to rise and the smell of it baking, however since trying to limit my wheat intake the baking has slowed down at our house.

Katie's Quick Dinner Rolls
You will need a standard muffin tin for this recipe.

1 C. Warm Water (110-115 degrees)

1 pkg. Active Dry Yeast

2 Tbls Sugar

2 1/4 Cups All Purpose Flour

1 tsp Salt

1 Egg

2 Tbls Olive Oil

In a medium/large bowl (you will use the same bowl the entire time), dissolve yeast in water.

Stir Sugar, 1/2 of the Flour and Salt into the yeast mixture. Beat with a spoon until smooth. Add Egg and Olive Oil, mix together. Beat in the rest of the Flour until smooth. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, cover bowl with a dishtowel and put in a warm place. Let rise until doubled in size (about 30 minutes).

Grease 12 cup muffin tin. Stir down the raised dough and spoon into muffin cups until each is 1/2 full. Rise again in a warm place until dough rises to the top of the cups 20-30 minutes).

Bake at 400 degrees for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
Makes 12 rolls.

Try not to eat them all yourself! They taste like mini loafs of homemade bread.
