Delightful, Garlicy Dinner Rolls

Yes, I know Garlicy isn't a word. It describes them though. :)

Take this recipe from allrecipes.com

Aaaand sandwich in these instructions right in the middle of direction number three:
Stick your pointer finger right in the middle of each roll and make a hole. Using your finger (or an exceptionally tiny spoon), put about a half teaspoon of butter/garlic salt mix (one stick butter or margarine mixed with a teaspoon and a half of garlic).

And these instructions as the very last step:
Cover the top of the warm rolls with leftover butter/garlic mix using a pastry brush.

Voila! The recipe with the "Elise touch".

INGREDIENTS:
4 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
1/2 cup warm water (110 degrees F to 115
degrees F)
2 cups warm milk (110 to 115 degrees F)
6 tablespoons shortening
2 eggs
1/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
7 cups all-purpose flour

DIRECTIONS:
1. In a large mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the milk, shortening, eggs, sugar, salt and 3 cups flour; beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
2. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes (dough will be sticky). Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
3. Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide into 24 pieces. Shape each into a roll. Place 2 in. apart on greased baking sheets. Stick your pointer finger right in the middle of each roll and make a hole. Using your finger (or an exceptionally tiny spoon), put about a half teaspoon of butter/garlic salt mix (one stick butter or margarine mixed with a teaspoon and a half of garlic). Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes. Bake at 350 degrees F for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to wire racks.Cover the top of the warm rolls with leftover butter/garlic mix using a pastry brush.

Enjoy. :)
