Bread Machine Dinner Rolls/Soup Bowls

This is a family favorite. It takes relatively little time on our part and the kids all get to get their hands into it. They love deciding which ones they shaped. (Rolls are pretty forgiving and taste just the same whether they were made by mom or BK)In bread maker:
2 tsp yeast
3 T oil
3 T sugar
1 tsp salt
~3 1/2 c flour (try 2 c white flour, 1 1/2 wheat flour)
1 T gluten (optional)
1-2 tsp dough enhancer (optional)
1 1/3 c tepid water

Set bread maker on dough setting and press start.
Grease 9x13 pan, shape rolls.
Cover w/ a dish cloth and let rest. Rolls should double in size. REMEMBER! your house needs to be warm to raise dough, close your windows.
My rolls had already started to raise when I thought to take the first picture.
Bake 350 degrees for about 20-25 min. Rolls should be golden and sound hollow when tapped.
I like to butter them while they are hot.

The recipe is the same if you are using your bosch or kitchen aid. Dump ingredients into mixer and kneed for 10 minutes. Let rest until it doubles (the room needs to be warm enough for the dough to rise!!). Mix for 30 seconds. Make rolls.

I follow this same recipe when I make soup bowls. This recipe makes about 12 rolls or 4 medium soup bowls ( or two large ones, but with JP being diabetic I try to cut carbs). Soup bowls just cook a little longer. Same rules apply.
