Featured at:




I was really craving some fresh baked bread today so I decided to make a quick dinner roll with some garlic herb butter.  This is the perfect quick recipe.  It requires minimal kneading and produces a perfect light and fluffy dinner roll.  The garlic herb butter is just icing to these fabulous dinner rolls.  Definitely a perfect pairing for me :)

Garlic Herb Butter
1 stick softened butter
1 pinch dried thyme
1 pinch dried parsley
1 pinch dried rosemary
1 pinch dried basil
1 pinch dried oregano
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 pinch salt
1 pinch black pepper
1/4 tsp lemon juice

• Mix everything together and store in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer, it will keep for about 4-6 weeks in fridge and 4 months in the freezer

Quick and Easy Wheat Dinner Rolls

1 1/2 cups warm water (about 110 degrees)

3 1/2 tsp dry active yeast

2 TBS sugar

2 TBS butter, softened

1 tsp salt

2 1/2 cups wheat pastry flour

1 cup whole wheat flour

2 TBS butter, melted

• In a mixing bowl combine warm water, yeast, and sugar until mixture foams; about 10-15 minutes
• Meanwhile combine the two flours and mix well
• When the yeast mixture is ready add the butter, salt, and 1 1/2 cups flour mixture and mix until ingredients come together
• Continue to add the remaining flour 1/2 cup at a time until mixture begins to clean the sides of the bowl (add more flour if necessary)
• Let dough rest for about 10 minutes
• Knead dough until smooth and elastic (dough will be slightly sticky), about 5 minutes
• Form dough into equal sized balls and place on a greased cookie sheet so they are not touching
• Let rise in a warm place for about 20 minutes
• Brush rolls with melted butter
• Bake in a 375 degree oven until golden brown, about 10-15 minutes

Super easy and nothing beats fresh baked bread with a delicious flavored butter.  You can freeze these too. After they have risen freeze on a cookie sheet overnight or until solid and then place in a ziploc freezer bag.  To prepare form frozen brush with butter and bake in a 375 degree oven for about 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
