I used my bread machine again day.  This time I used it to make dough and decided to make some rolls to accompany dinner.  I used this recipe:

2 tbsp sugar

1 tsp salt

2 3/4 c. bread flour

2 tsp active dry yeast

1/4 c. water

1 egg

3/4 c. milk

1/4 cup butter (used my local butter!)

And added all the ingredients to the bread maker. 

The bread maker then took 1 1/2 hours to make the dough. 

I easily lifted it out afterwards and kneaded it gently on a floured cutting board to get rid of air bubbles. 

I then formed it into small balls and placed them into greased muffin tins.

I covered them with a towel and waited for them to double in size.  One hour later…

I think they look really fluffy and soft!  I then brushed them with egg whites so they would finish with a nice brown top.  And finally I baked them at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.  Here’s the finished product:

Yummy, huh?!

I fixed a homemade spaghetti sauce tonight complete with organic chicken sausage, organic canned tomatoes, and my sister’s famous spaghetti seasoning blend 😉  It topped whole wheat noodles, and I think as a whole the meal turned out very well!  Here’s my husband’s plate…

P.S. He finished it 😉
