We have been chatting about holiday traditions this week, coloring eggs and Easter Brunch. Today I’d like to tell you a little about my Mom. She was an excellent cook, and many holidays were spent with family members and great food!
One of the things she always made was Cloverleaf Rolls. I remember the aroma of them baking, it filled the house. Now, Mom used to always make them from scratch, but since we are updating old traditions with new methods for the Easter Recipes, I decided to use my bread machine for the Cloverleaf Rolls.
These rolls are perfect for any holiday, and easy enough for a special weeknight meal. Since I haven’t made them in the Bread Machine before, I knew right where to go for the recipe…MomAdvice! She has great recipes for the Bread Machine, like the one we used on the Pizza Pockets.
The recipe is for basic Buttery Rolls, and I just formed 1 inch small balls on placed three of them in a muffin tin to form the Cloverleaf Rolls.
An easy recipe to enjoy homemade rolls. Recipe from PocketChangeGourmet.com Adapted from MomAdvice
Ingredients
- 1 cup warm milk {70 to 80 degrees F - I put mine in the microwave for 1 minute}
- 1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 4 cups bread flour
- 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast {a little more than 1 package}
Instructions
- Put all ingredients in bread machine, according to manufacturer directions.
- Select dough setting. {mine is 1 hr + 20 minutes}
- When bread machine beeps and cycle is complete, turn dough onto a lightly floured surface.
- Divide dough and shape into small 1 inch balls
- Place 3 balls into greased muffins tins {this recipe made 24 rolls}
- Cover and let rise in a warm place for 15 minutes
- Bake at 375 degrees for 13-16 minutes or until golden brown
Notes
Liz says... These rolls were delicious, flaky and still moist. We tried several different sizes, the 1 inch balls were the best.
Doug says... I could hardly wait for these to come out of the oven, they smelled so good.
If you don’t have a Bread Machine, this recipe from How Sweet It is, looks great!
