Summary

Nathan,

So for Christmas and Thanksgiving your Aunt Laura was always relegated to bringing rolls. She thinks that this is because we didn’t think that she could cook but it was really because she always brought the best rolls. She has started to make her own bread at home and it is taking center stage in our house. This roll recipe was to try and mimic the rolls that she used to bring over. They are a good staple to have for your future gathering needs. I love you dearly.
