Wow, what a cooking day for me too, Lorraine. So far, 76 slider rolls made for the 'after' the 4th party. One more batch of rolls - Maryann/Lorraine's Sweet potato rolls and I'm done.
Today, I made an egg roll recipe that I found on another forum that just sounded really good. And, is it ever - The first picture is of half the dough rolled out and I was realy afraid I'd rolled it too thin. But, turned out to be the perfect size for what I wanted.
the rolls were topped with (left to right) Laura's seasoned peppr, white sesame seeds, black sesame seeds and kosher salt.
Here's the recipe if anyone would like it -

The posters notes: I took the Homemade Egg Bread recipe and made hamburger buns with the dough. Fan tastic! Nice and soft and they didn't fall apart.
Here's the recipe again in case you want to try it. Next, I will attempt hot dog buns.
Ingredients
2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast
1/2 cup warm water (110° to 115°)
1-1/2 cups warm milk (110° to 115°)
1/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon salt
3 eggs, beaten
1/4 cup butter, softened
7 to 7-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 egg yolk
2 tablespoons water
Sesame seeds
Directions
Dissolve yeast in water. Add milk, sugar, salt, eggs, butter and 3-1/2 cups flour; mix well. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
On a floured surface, knead until smooth and elastic, 6-8 minutes.
Place in greased bowl; turn once to grease top. Cover and let rise in warm place until doubled, 1-1/2 to 2 hours.
Punch down. Cover and let rise until almost doubled, about 30 minutes. Divide into six portions. On a floured surface, shape each into a 14-in.-long rope. For each loaf, braid three ropes together on greased baking sheet; pinch ends to seal. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 50 minutes.
Beat egg yolk and water; brush over loaves. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake at 375° for 30-35 minutes.

I made buns out of them instead of the braided bread. baked them at 375° 18 minutes and they were perfect.
And that little pkg. of chicken I found in the freezer with the recipe to use it in a wrap - fantastic. Altho, I did morph it into a tostado instead.
You combine the chicken, 1 1/2 cups mashed sweet potato, jalapeno pepper, 1/2 can refried beans. And we topped the tostados with tomatoes, red onion and lettuce. Really tasty. Now, I hope I can find the master recipe that will tell me what I did with the chicken.....
Lorraine, let's go get a bottle of wine!!
