What to do with leftover dollar rolls?

Happy Super Bowl Day!   We are having our neighbors over tonight to watch the big game.  So, I've been working on some snacks for us to eat.  Of course one of my main ingredients is leftovers!  I turned the dollar rolls from my birthday into bread dippers for our spinach dip.  They are really tasty and easy to eat so you can still pay attention to the game.  They're also a leftover you can make into a new dish!  If you have any of these leftover, turn them into breadcrumbs by throwing them into your food processor or cut them up into croutons for your salads.  In not so recent news, Kurt Warner has decided to retire from football at age 38. I guess he decided he was too old to undergo another season of being chased down by guys like DeMarcus Ware.  As a Rams fan, I would like to take this opportunity to say farewell to Kurt, who took our rams to two Super Bowls and won one. Look on the bright side Kurt, at least you can 'pass' these wonderful snacks out for Super Bowls to come!




Dinner Roll Dippers 

Ingredients:
Dollar Rolls
Olive Oil
Garlic Powder
Salt
Italian Seasoning

Cut each dollar roll into four circular slices.  Coat a large frying pan with a thick (1/4" to 1/3") layer of oil and heat up.  Place bread in frying pan after oil is heated.  Fry side of bread until crispy and light brown, then flip.  Right after flipping, season cooked side with  a little salt, garlic powder and Italian seasoning.  When sprinkling Italian seasoning, roll it between your fingers a little, so it crushes and is finer.  Take out of pan when other side is toasted.  Cover a large plate with a paper towel for olive oil to drain on.  Place finished toasted rolls on plate and season other side.  Let cool and enjoy with dip.
