The question was:

 I made some rolls today to pair with a pot of chicken soup.  Someone at my house was under the weather and the chicken soup is my go-to for not feeling good.  Nothing else seems to work.  I once made some for the Wondermutt because I read online that it helps doggos too.

I love that dog.

I'm usually a Rhodes rolls guy.  They're good rolls and they require not a lot of attention.  I didn't have any in the freezer and I did have some buttermilk that needed to be used up because it expired today, so rolls got made.  I found the oddest recipe (odd to me, anyway) for rolls, written by some guy because the recipe flows terribly and the directions also kinda were hard to follow.  The rolls were, though, amazingly good.

I've never been a big bread baker.  It's hard to get bread right.  The last few loaves have been really good, though, and so were the rolls.  Maybe it's the altitude (or, more correctly, the lack of altitude).  Anyway...

I mix rolls and bread in my bread machine because it proofs the dough for you.  You put the wet ingredients in first.  Then the dry, then you make a little well in the flour for the yeast.  About an hour and a half later, your dough is ready to be punched down and shaped for the second rise.  

The house guest came out after the rolls were done and inquired of the bread machine:

"Does that thing make bread?

Yeah.  Yeah, it does.
