I did 1/2 the recipe . I made the dough in my bread machine, which has a special cycle for quick rising yeast doughs-- ( quick dough cycle) --then I made 8 rolls and put them on a pie plate to rise. Before putting them in the oven, I painted them with the egg glaze. Then I baked them at 400 for about 15 minutes. The rolls came out wonderful!!! Everyone had two . Thanks for this great recipe-- I will definately make again.

I decided to make rolls on the spur of the moment and liked that these didn't use much butter and made a smaller yield. I made the dough in the food processor. These are very attractive rolls, with the egg/milk wash. They were wonderful and the whole family enjoyed (especially my daughter who is particular about her rolls). Thanks Mean Chef. Roxygirl
