Red Beans Monday Again and Homemade Rolls!

[N4sir]

Yesterday morning I put a pot of red beans to cook for dinner last night.
These must've been fresh beans as they didn't take as long as usual to cook.

During the afternoon I decided to make some fresh homemade rolls to go with dinner.

The picture of the dough when I put it to rise didn't transfer but here one of the risen dough.

A few hours later I made shaped the rolls and set them aside to rise again.
These are not my best.

After baking and brushed with melted butter.

Time to eat!

These were some awesome red beans and rolls!!!
