Thirty Days and Counting!

Well I have survived over thirty days! I want to thank those of you who have sent me note, sent recipes, forwarded this little adventure along or even shared it on Facebook.

So how about we have a little fun with yeast rolls and bread.  I have mentioned several times making a “Cheryl worthy yeast roll” and have gotten a few requests for the recipe.  The other day, I was scanning the internet for “gift in a jar” ideas, and came across the cutest idea for bread rolls.

Instead of using bread plates, they took the little four-ounce jelly jars, and baked a yeast roll in it. I do not have any jars that small, but I did try it with a pint jar. The idea worked out well, besides the fact I did not have enough dough in the jar.

The trick is to coat the inside of the jar with either olive or vegetable oil and then place cornmeal in the bottom. These two steps will prevent the bread from sticking and your guests will be able to remove the bread with no problems.
