Hi everyone! My name is Ann and I blog over at Frugal Foodie in WV. I started my blog a couple of years back after staying home with my two boys since my oldest was born. I realized after a couple of years of cooking and trying new recipes from magazine and cookbooks that some recipes work great and others don't live up to expectations. So I started my blog in order to share my triumphs and failures at various magazine and cookbook recipes.  I love discussing cooking, baking, and pretty much anything related to food! I believe cooking from scratch is important and I cook and bake as many things as I can. I am excited to be guest posting today and have a great recipe for homemade rolls to share! 

Growing-up cooking was a major part of my childhood. My mother was the oldest of 12 children and there was something always being made in our kitchen. I learned my love of food from my mother and some of my favorite memories are of spending time with my mother cooking and baking. When I moved 2500 miles away from home I was faced with learning a whole new way of cooking and I started to panic. Luckily I quickly met my husband and his mother. My mother-in-law is a great home cook and has taught me many things over the years. One of my favorite recipes that she has shared with me is for homemade rolls. I thought it would be a great recipe to share with all of you, so here it is.

Fluffy Homemade Rolls

• 1 package (2 1/4 tsps.) yeast + 1/4 c. water
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup oil
• 1 tsp. salt
• 1 cup water
• 3 - 3 1/2 cups flour

Sprinkle yeast in water and let sit 5-8 minutes. Measure sugar, salt, oil, and water in bowl. Add yeast mixture and 2 cups flour and beat. Add more flour until dough is no longer sticky. Knead flour to make soft elastic dough 5-8 minutes. Place in greased bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let rise in bowl and punch down. Pan rolls in greased pan. Let rise for 1 hour until double. Bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes.

That's it, easy and delicious!
