Shamrock Rolls






Put a loaf of frozen bread* dough in a sprayed pan, cover with sprayed plastic wrap and leave in fridge the night before. You want the dough to be thawed but still cold.

Flour your clean surface, grab a pizza cutter or knife.

Slice loaf into portions, I did mine pretty big so they could serve as sandwich buns. You could do thinner slices for more rolls.

Tip slices to flat side, then pat into a smooth circle.
Use knife to cut two parrallel lines in the bottom 1/2 to form the stem.
Then make two more slices on the top to create the 3 leaves of the Shamrock
From here I put short slices in each leaf and tucked the points under to create rounded leaves.
You may dust each piece with flour, then place on a sprayed baking sheet. Cover with sprayed plastic wrap and allow to double in size. Remove wrap and bake at 350°F 12-15 minutes.

*this would work just as well with frozen roll dough if you don't need large shamrocks. Just skip the slicing step.
