When I have a good reason to lug out my bread machine, I do. I recently made dinner for my sister and she had shown me a recipe for a loaf of Italian bread so I decided to make the next best thing - dinner rolls! Why? Because I've tried these before and I knew how delicious they were and I knew I could toss all the ingredients into my bread machine to go through the mixing and rising process. I like to avoid working with yeasty dough when I can. :)
I sprinkled the tops with Italian seasoning and melted butter and they baked up warm and light. I love bread! I served these with spaghetti and they were perfect for sopping up the leftover sauce.
