How to make Icebox Dinner Rolls

I know we all love that loaf of bread that is light and fluffy and just melts in your mouth or that crusty chewy sourdough bread that becomes a meal by itself.   

These Icebox Dinner Rolls are somewhere in between and are perfect when we need a  hearty bread that doesn’t turn into mush but also doesn’t overcome the main dish.    A bread that can accompany some Texas BBQ Brisket, goes great with a nice pot of Texas Pinto Beans or a Hearty Minestrone or Pasta Fagioli soup. 

These Icebox Dinner Rolls have a great texture, a great flavor and they are not that hard to make!   Trust me, making bread is really worth the little extra effort it takes.    So grab your flour and lets bake!  

*Tip–When you need a little extra time for the big meal tomorrow, mix the dough the night before and let it chill in the icebox.
