What's for dinner?

Dinner?
Yep, that's what we had tonight and yum! So good! I wanted to post some of the recipes that I make that are vegetarian. I hope you find some that you can use.

You don't have to be a vegetarian to enjoy this meal. Not only is it delicious but it's a good break for your budget, too.

Bread Rolls
Ingredients:

2 (.25 ounce) packages highly active dry yeast 2 cups warm water (110 degrees to 115 degrees) 1/2 cup sugar 2 teaspoons salt

3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, divided 1 egg 1/4 cup vegetable oil 3 cups whole wheat flour

Directions:

1.

In a mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in water. Let stand 5 minutes. Blend in sugar, salt and 3 cups all-purpose flour at low speed until moistened; beat 2 minutes at medium speed. Beat in egg and oil. Stir in whole wheat flour and enough remaining all-purpose flour to make a soft dough. Knead, I use my mixer with the dough hook, about 3 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise until doubled or cover and refrigerate overnight. Punch dough down and form into dinner-size rolls. Place on greased baking sheets. Let rise until doubled in size. Bake at 375 degrees F for 10 to 12 minutes or until light golden brown. Serve warm. If desired, dough may be kept up to 4 days in the refrigerator. Punch down daily. These are much better the second and third day. They never make it to the fourth day, lol.
