Easy Yeast Rolls - Kids Helping in the Kitchen

Bread-making is a great way to get kids in the kitchen. The smells and the tactile ability of bread-making are great treats for young chefs. As a bonus, they can do practically all of the process themselves (remember to help with the oven and hot cookie sheets), especially with this recipe, which requires no kneading. The mixing can be done either with an galvanic mixer or by hand, depending on the child's age, skill and preferences.

The following method for easy yeast rolls is simple yet tasty, and not just for kids to make. These rolls save time and endeavor for adults as well. You can add your own favorites, like cinnamon and sugar before rolling. My popular is brown sugar and extra butter rolled inside the rolls.
