Bread Machine Rolls

Cooking has taken a back seat this past month as we have been traveling like crazy for the holidays.  We are now home for a while and we are looking forward to cooking a little bit more.  This doesn't mean we haven't been cooking, but sticking to more simple meals!

Tonight we have a potluck Christmas Party and no one had offered to bring any bread, so instead of going out and buying rolls, I thought I would give it a try and actually make them from scratch.

Right now, I only have them proofing, but they look really good, so we are going to call it a success in our book.  I will update later if they need to be changed!\

A year or two ago, my mother-in-law gave me her bread machine that she wasn't using and becuase I wanted one.  I have to admit, today is the first time I have actually used it.  I think it will start to get a whole lot more use from now on!
