Garlic & Sun-Dried Tomato Rolls
SERVES 30
Ingredients
2 1⁄4-oz packets active dry yeast
1⁄2 cup water
2 cups milk
2/3 cup sugar
1 1⁄2 sticks butter, melted
9 1⁄2 cups flour
5 eggs
2 tsp. salt
1 3-oz bag sun-dried tomatoes, diced finely

6 cloves garlic, minced
Directions
1. Add the yeast and water to a mixer bowl. Reserve the yeast in the mixer bowl.

4. Pour in the milk mixture and mix.
5. Mix in the eggs in one at a time and then mix in the salt until the dough is mixed.

7. Divide the dough into 30 pieces and roll each piece into a ball.
8. Divide the dough balls evenly between the Wonder Cooker’s Grill Pan and the Roaster Pan.

13. Pour the butter over the rolls before serving.
Eric’s Tip: I love to pair these rolls with my Nonna’s meatballs for Italian sliders – just add sharp provolone.
