What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? Something to Savor: Ingenious Bakery Bread! Some days are just made for shortcuts. The fact is, everyone needs a timesaving tip now and then. For starters, buying frozen bread dinner roll dough takes the guesswork out of measuring ingredients, which is why I keep a bag on hand. The other day I made homemade chicken noodle soup and wanted freshly-baked bread instead of saltine crackers. While the aromatic flavors of the soup were blending in the slow-cooker, the bread was rising to perfection. Together they pulled off a meal like a pro.
INGENIOUS BAKERY BREAD
Ingredients:
8 pieces frozen yeast dinner roll dough
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 teaspoon dill weed
1 teaspoon Parmesan cheese
Instructions:
Spray a loaf pan with nonstick oil. Place the 8 frozen rolls into the pan in a single layer with edges touching. Cover with plastic wrap that has been sprayed with nonstick oil. Cover entire pan with a tea towel. Place pan in a warm area, free of drafts. Let the dough rise at room temperature until it doubles in size, between 2 and 4 hours. Remove tea towel and plastic wrap. The raised dough will resemble a single loaf. Brush top of dough with olive oil. Sprinkle with dill weed and Parmesan cheese. Bake at 350° for 15-20 minutes. Immediately remove from loaf pan and cool on a wire rack. Brush with melted sea salt butter. Serve warm.
There’s nothing like the smell of baking yeast breads! So comforting!

Bread is the perfect partner for any meal. And heck, sometimes it can be the meal all by itself depending on what I stick on it. 🙂

Clever. I’m not sure we can buy frozen dinner rolls in Australia.

yup, nothing wrong with a bit of time-saving. I have found a few yeast bread recipes that only take about 4-5 hours to make from scratch though, if one can’t find freezer rolls. (My favourite is a buttermilk loaf from Outlander Kitchen) Flavouring or toppings can always be added.
Thanks for the continued inspiration!
