Ever wish that you had enough time to mix and serve fresh baked dinner rolls frequently; especially for those of us who work? This recipe is especially nice when you have cooked a big pot of your favorite soup, stew, or chili as examples. Serve fresh hot dinner rolls with the leftovers. Holiday baking for that special dinner will be a little easier when you have the dough stored in your refrigerator ahead of time.
