Breadmaker Rolls
**I love this recipe. It always turns out great and it makes wonderful cinnamon rolls too (just add extra sugar to sweeten the dough). But the best part is that your breadmaker does all the hard work!
Breadmaker Rolls
1 ¼ c milk (heated 2 min in microwave)
2 eggs
¼ c margarine
1 tsp salt
¾ c sugar
4 c flour
2 tsp yeast (slightly rounded)
Set mixer at "dough" setting. Watch it for the first few minutes to ensure that the whole thing mixes (sometimes I have to use a knife to help mix for a while). Also make sure that the dough forms into a stiff ball as it mixes. I have had to add extra flour at times.
