Pesto Rolls

"Not your ordinary dinner roll! These can be made a day ahead and held in an airtight container. Or prepare several weeks in advance and freeze in containers. Reheat before serving. To reheat room temperature rolls, wrap in foil and warm in a 375 oven 7-10 minutes. For frozen rolls, wrap and reheat for about 20 minutes. Prep time does not include overnight chill or 30 minute rise time. From "Better Homes and Gardens"."

  • Beat with an electric mixer on low to medium speed for 30 seconds, scraping sides of the bowl constantly.

  • Stir in pesto.
  • Using a wooden spoon, stir in as much of the remaining flour as you can.
  • Turn dough out onto a lighly floured surface.

  1. Mark, I had trouble with these. Is there water in the recipe? I tried to intuit the right proportions of flour/ water/ no water- just didn't turn out at all. Would love to make them again- give me guidance!!!!

What can I say about myself that hasn't already been mentioned in the police reports? Just kidding! I'm a single guy who loves to cook! Good thing, or I'd starve or go broke eating out! I love to read, horror and mysteries are my favorite. Love music, (except rap) and I'm a huge Green Bay Packer Fan!
