Delicious pull-apart rolls, even though I may have used a little more chives than called for. As I only use bread machine yeast (in the jar) so I used 4 teaspoons which seemed about right -- the dough rose wonderfully high and fast(so maybe next time I'll cut down to 3 1/2 teaspoons) Next time I will use a bigger pan so the rolls have more room to spread though. Thanks for sharing this delicious way of using garden chives.

Unfortunately these bread rolls didn't work out very well for us. I know that bread is a bit of a science so have decided not to rate these as it could well have been one of the ingredients that I used. I will try again sometime and would love to read other reviews as I feel these would be very tasty if they worked.
