Entertaining during the holidays usually means plenty ofcostly, complicated, and time-consuming recipes, so absolutely no one would blame you ifyou simply tossed a tube of store-bought dinner rolls into the oven to save alittle time and effort.

Of course the problem with that, at least for loyalfollowers of this blog, is that some or all of your family members will haveseen this video by then, and you may get a few looks. Not that they would neverquestion your undying love and devotion to their happiness, but hey, why take a chance?
Assuming that you have an electric mixer, besides a fewminutes of cutting and balling the dough, these really aren’t that much work tomake. If you don’t, and would have to knead this by hand, then let yourconscience be your guide. I think I speak for your entire family when I say, weknow you’ll do the right thing.
Anyway, as far as holiday dinner rolls go, these are prettylean. You can certainly up the melted butter amount, and toss in a egg or two,but since these are generally going to be eaten with fairly rich food, I prefer a lighter approach.
Please feel free to embellish with anything else you’d liketo toss in. I’ll toss out garlic, herbs, cheese, seeds, and nuts just to startthe brainstorming session. I hope you come up with something amazing, and givethese a try soon. Enjoy!
