I can cook.... cereal.

Today I thought I would try to make some dinner rolls. How hard could it be?

A little too hard for me I guess. I felt a little too confident with the first batch I made and somehow skipped putting the eggs in the mixture. I didn't notice I forgot them until after I had kneaded the dough. So I piled the dough on a cookie sheet and made some gross bread.

The second batch was a little more successful. I included the eggs. Now I am just waiting for them to rise and put them in the oven. But... I just realized that I forgot the salt.

I'm trying to learn how to cook and today wasn't very encouraging. Maybe I should just stick to frozen rhodes rolls.

Homemade rolls are hard work... The attempt itself is worth accolades. But I agree, I will just stick with the Rhodes :-)

failed dough of all sorts is sometimes redeemed by turning it into a "scone." Well, of COURSE deep frying in fat will fix it >:)

Carli,

I can sympathize, I've had those days. This last batch of bread I let rise too long and it fell, arg...

I have an easy breadstick recipe you could try. No eggs required. :)
