stephmodo: Bread Machine Rolls

Bread Machine Rolls

• 19 February 2009






























I've been using this recipe for years...well, since my mother-in-law gave me her old (but still working!) bread machine. I can't tell you how nice it is to have an easy and delicious recipe like this on hand. I'm sure I'm not the only one who loves homemade rolls, but not the often time-consuming process of making them. I typically under bake them a little to keep them soft and not too brown on their bottom sides :)

In the wintertime it's nice to make a good soup and serve it with these rolls. A nice minestrone would be perfect. In fact, while we are on the subject of minestrone soup, does anyone have a great recipe you'd care to share?

  4. This is my go-to minestrone recipe: http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Minestrone-11569. To simplify and make it vegetarian (for my hubby), I omit the pancetta, and substitute chicken stock for veggie and canned beans for dried, and it is still oh so good.

  6. The reason I love this recipe is because of the "pesto" you put on top of your bowl of soup. It is divine.

    2 garlic cloves, minced
    1 c. celery, chopped

    1 c. carrots chopped
    4 c. water
    2 tsp. Basil leaves
    2 c. canned diced tomatoes
    1 tsp. Salt

  7. those rolls look so good! this is my favorite easy minestrone recipe (and lately I like making a vegetarian version with veggie broth and no meat):

    Minestrone Soup

    Saute:
    1 lb lean ground beef
    3 celery stalks chopped
    1/2 medium onion chopped

    Drain fat. Then add:
    1 (15 oz) can of chopped tomatoes
    2 large carrots sliced on angle
    2 cups beef soup broth
    2 Tbsp dried parlsey
    1 tsp oregano
    1/2 tsp garlic salt (I will use a couple of cloves of fresh crushed garlic instead, if I have some on hand)
    15 oz can drained kidney beans
    15 oz can drained garbanzo beans
    1 oz can drained green beans
    1/4 tsp pepper
    1/2 tsp basil
    2 (8 oz) cans tomato sauce
    2 tsp salt
    4 cups water
    1 1/2 cups rigatoni noodles (I like leaving these out)

    then I chop up whatever fresh veggies are in my fridge as well...zucchini, radishes, cauliflower, etc.)

    Simmer for 20 min. Add 2 Tbsp diced green pepper at end.
