Cloverleaf Rolls

These lovely rolls were served at our recent family Father's Day dinner. Though I slaved over Chicken Marsala, roasted vegetables and light and fluffy mashed potatoes, it was these little rolls that stole the show !

The best part: no manual kneading required. The dough is made in the bread maker! All you need to do is divide it after it has risen and form into balls. The balls are then placed, 3 at a time, into muffin cups, then let to rise again for 45 minutes before popping into the oven.

These sweet and fluffy pull-apart rolls are perfect to serve with any meal and taste incredible topped with fresh creamy butter. If you have not eaten a cloverleaf roll before then you have no idea what you are missing!

SO LET'S BEGIN !

Here they are perfectly risen
and ready for baking

  4. Those rolls look so beautiful and I love your pictures. The bread machine is definitely one of the best inventions ever :) I hope you'll come by and show them off tomorrow at the recipe spotlight.

  7. Yum, my family would love warm homemade rolls on the dinner table. Have you tried to make this recipe without a bread machine?

  8. Hi Cathy - no I haven't tried without the bread machine but it cannot be that hard. I would just mix the milk, sugar and yeast together and let stand 5-10 minutes. Then place in stand mixer with dough hook, add remaining ingredients and knead for probably about 5-6 minutes. After that let it rise and follow recipe as you would once breadmaker dough cycle ends. NOTE: replace breadmaker yeast with regular active yeast.
