THESE UNIQUE ROLLS are tender, light and delicious, with a bit of chili tang. The zip and texture inspire requests for the recipe every time I serve them. For a fun change of pace, I'll sometimes use blue cornmeal when I make these. -Marion Lowery, Medford, Oregon

Ingredients

1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
1-3/4 cups warm water (110° to 115°)
1-1/2 cups cornmeal
1/3 cup sugar
1 egg
2 tablespoons olive oil

In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in water. Add the cornmeal, sugar, egg, oil, chili powder, salt, and 2 cups flour. Beat until smooth. Add enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl; turn once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.

These were very good with the exception of I could not taste much of the chili. Could have been my chili powder. I will try a chili paste next time. Will make again. Great with a steaming hot bowl of Chili.
