{ Bread Machine Yeast Rolls }

As much as I love making fresh bread and kneading the dough and going through the whole process, sometimes I rely on my bread machine.  Especially if I want a loaf or rolls but have other things going on and don't have the time to be in the kitchen.

This recipe is wonderful for that, not only does it always turn out great, but I can get the dough going while I finish chores or run an errand.
