A lot of southern cooks love using Rhodes dough, and I am certainly one of them. It makes a fantastic loaf of bread or pan of delectable rolls
(that can fool just about anybody to thinking they are your own homemade from scratch creations), it's also a mighty convenient dough to use for recipes, where it really shines.

If you visit here regularly, you have probably seen a few Rhodes recipes make an appearance because I just adore their products! I mean yeast rolls with homemade flavor, but without all the trouble? I'm thinking even my Mama probably managed to sneak some of those by us a time or two. But, it really rocks for recipes like this
Sausage Cheese Bread - one of my favorites. The filling is just wonderful and wrap that in some bread dough? To. Die. For! Super
Easy Cinnamon Rolls? Not a problem and delicious! And we all love good ole
Butterscotch Pull Apart Bread.

| I'm thinking Chef Sarah had fun too don't you think? |
There are a lot of options for using their dough to create fun recipes in the kitchen with your children and the cookbook is a handy way to have them all in one spot. You can get it
right from the website for only $9.95 for the softcover version pictured above. Hey while you're there, check out the new
Home Baked Family Favorites cookbook for the same price too!
(You'll be seeing another Rhodes recipe showing up from that one in the near future.)

Looks to me like the kids really enjoyed themselves! Well, let's see what mom reported:
The kids really enjoyed the fruit pizza making experience and it was very tasty.
We started by letting the rolls rise and then rolled them into a pizza shape. Although we didn't get the dough to roll out quite as flat as I would have liked it, the pizza still turned out great.
The fruit was the fun part because the kids would eat some, put some on the pizza, eat some more, put some on the pizza, and so that was pretty entertaining!
The best part was how excited the kids got when I told them the pizza had sat in the refrigerator long enough and it was time to eat!
This was a very fun and tasty activity for the kids, thanks so much!
Sounds like they had fun, and I think they did a great job, don't you?
You can get the recipe for the
Rhodes Fresh Fruit Pizza right here. You'll need 9 Rhodes Dinner Rolls or 6 Rhodes Texas Rolls, strawberry cream cheese spread, milk, sugar, a little bit of whipped topping and your choice of fresh fruit. That is it!
Hey, Mardi Gras is around the corner y'all and while it's not gonna be
exactly like our beloved pastry dough down here, they've got a great
shortcut King Cake recipe on their site, and you know it's gonna be good! I highly recommend adding a fruit filling (1/2 can to 1 can of your favorite pie filling) on top of that cream cheese.
