Soft Rolls

I got this recipe from The Mennonite girls can cook. I have had it for a while and today i decided to try it, I needed bread. This was sooo easy and these rolls taste so good.

I mixed it all in my Kitchen aid just until a ball of dough was made, not really kneading it. I didn't put it in the fridge at all, used it right away. I had dinner rolls in no time.
