Beat thoroughly. Add flour to form soft dough. Knead well on lightly floured surface. Place in lightly greased bowl, turn to coat all sides. Cover (with a towel or something) and let rise until doubled. Grease cookie sheet. Form dough into rolls and place on cookie sheet. Bake at 375 for 20-25 minutes.

Garlic White Sauce for Pizza (from Kendra Z.)

1/4 tsp garlic powder (more or less to taste)
1 1/2 Tbsp. butter
1 1/2 Tbsp. flour
1/2 cup milk

Melt butter in sauce pan. Add garlic, stirring about 1 minute. Stir in flour. Add milk, continuing to stir until it starts to boil. Remove from heat and pour on piiza crust.

The original recipe called for twice as much garlic powder, but that was too much for my taste.
