1-Hour Rolls

Most people already have their go-to roll recipe, but I haven't had one. My children and I tried this one that I found at Bamamoma1 and were happy with how fast it was and with the taste. I just have a cheap hand-held mixer, not a stand mixer, so we kneaded this by hand. My children had a lot of fun taking turns doing that and they did really well. I love freshly baked bread and rolls!

1-Hour Rolls

5  t. yeast
1/4 c. warm water
1 1/2 c. buttermilk
1/4 c. sugar
1/2 c. oil
1 t. salt
4 1/2 c. flour
1/2 t. baking soda

Preheat oven to 425°. Spray 2 cookie sheets with non-stick spray. Dissolve yeast in warm water in a small bowl. In mixing bowl, combine buttermilk, sugar, oil, and salt, then mix. Add the yeast mixture once it has become frothy, then mix well.  Add flour and baking soda. Knead (with machine or by hand) until the dough is smooth (2-5 minutes).  Let stand for 10 minutes.  Roll out the dough until it is about 1/4 inch thick.  Cut into triangles and roll from wide side to thin (forming a crescent). Place on cookie sheet and let rise for 30 minutes. Bake for 10 minutes.

Easy Chicken Cordon Bleu

Many of you, my blogger friends, also read Cherie's fun blog, Bakow Babble, and might have seen this recipe she posted recently. I made it the other night and it is definitely nice to have another quick and easy option for dinner. It seriously can't get much easier than this and still taste good! I did season the chicken with salt and pepper before putting it in the pan and I added pepper to the soup too. Other than that, I followed the directions.
