Long have I had a dream to make our own bread, not only to cut down on weekly expense but to give my family the best quality and nutrition bread can offer. Fresh, homemade bread certainly is no comparison to store-bought but if you're looking for 100% whole wheat sandwich bread, it takes a little tweaking. My stock of homemade croutons and bread crumbs multiplied rapidly for a while with one loaf after another that was less than perfect. Then one day I read a post on a blog that spoke on dough conditioners for whole wheat flour. That was the turning point in my bread-making journey. 
Because wheat flour is more coarse than white flour, it breaks down the yeast pockets and therefore produces a dense textured bread. I have made many a loaf of dense bread... not my ideal. But I kept at it and eventually found that perfect combination that not only works consistently every time but is light and delicious like our favorite store breads. Best yet, it is 100% whole white wheat and packed with wholesome goodness that I can feel good about feeding to my family.  

For Mother's Day, my mom, mom-in-law and I combined our culinary efforts to prepare a delicious meal for our families. My job was to provide the bread and fruit. After a busy week and trip to the store without remembering to buy rolls, I decided that necessity was great motivation to experiment with homemade rolls. Surely it couldn't be as difficult as I had always thought. I was pleasantly surprised that this recipe for "Just Like Lambert's" rolls was super easy and super yummy! Now I have no idea where Lambert's Cafe is but gather that their rolls are famous. After tasting them myself, I think they rival the Quincy's Rolls from my childhood when Quincy's was popular here in the south. This recipe will find a permanent place in my cookbook.
