This is my basic roll dough recipe with the addition of sharp cheddar cheese.
Cheese Rolls
4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp salt
6 tbsp sugar
1 stick butter, sliced into about 6 pieces
1 cup water
1 egg
2 pkg rapid rise yeast
2 cups grated sharp cheddar cheese
Combine ingredients and process in bread machine on dough setting. After first rise, remove dough and divide into 16 portions. Divide each of the 16 portions into 3 portions. Roll each into a rope. Pinch the top ends together and braid. Then pinch the bottom ends together and pull pinched ends to the back. Place on greased cookie sheet. Brush with egg wash (one beaten egg mixed with about 2 tsp water). Bake at 350 for 12-15 minutes.
Divide dough into 16 equal portions:
Divide each portion into 3 balls:
Roll them out and pinch them together at the top:
Begin braiding from the top down and pinch the bottom ends together. Then tuck the ends under the roll and place on the pan.
These rolls are a great way to use your creativity and try something new, and they are a perfect accompaniment for most any meal.

Please don't laugh. If you baked these a little longer and did one less fold, couldn't you call them pretzels?
Too late, I am laughing already. A very astute and insightful question, though. You are right, they are very similar to pretzels, but I think pretzels are usually boiled for a few minutes before they are baked. I should probably try to make them sometime
It was good to see your astonishingly wily son Sunday.
Thank you. It was nice to have my partner in crime sitting with me.
