EASY NO KNEAD DINNER ROLLS

As with all breads, diabetics should eat with a protein item and only one roll per meal. Most diabetics can get by with this. Only you know your body and what you can tolerate. A roll should only be eaten with a very low carb meal.

2 pkgs dry yeast
2 cups warm water
1 egg, beaten
1/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup Splenda granular
1/3 cup shortening
2 tsps salt
4 1/2 to 5 cups bread flour
2 cups whole-wheat flour
melted butter for brushing hot rolls, optional

Dissolve the yeast in the warm water; stir in the egg. Add the sugar, Splenda, shortening, salt and at least 4 1/2 cups of the bread flour and the whole-wheat flour. If the dough seems too thin, add up to another 1/2 cup of flour. Cover bowl with foil and refrigerate for 2 hours. Make into rolls and place in a pan that has been sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Cover pan with a towel and set in a warm place; let rise for 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes or until browned. Immediately after removing from the oven brush with melted butter.

Note: Sprinkle buttered top with some cracked black pepper or sesame seeds for a unique touch.
