Rose Rolls

Use any dough recipe for one dozen dinner rolls

(See photos below)

On a lightly floured board, roll dough out into a rectangle 12” high by 15” wide.  Brush the dough with the melted butter, leaving 1 inch of the top edge dry.  Roll the dough up jellyroll style.  Lightly brush the top edge with a little water, so it will stick to the roll; pinch to seal.  Using a sharp knife cut the roll into 12 even pieces.  Cut side down, place them one by one into the cups of a lightly greased muffin tin.  Using a pair of scissors cut an “X” in the top of each roll---you should cut about 2/3 of the way through the roll.  Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, 30 to 45 minutes.  Bake in the preheated 375 degree oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until lightly browned.  Remove from pans and place on wire racks to cool slightly.  If desired, brush tops of rolls with more melted butter before serving warm.
