On trick-or-treat night last week I was driving down the street of a modest neighborhood in town. The mostly ranch style houses were festive with Halloween decorations. Most were gently scary - grinning pumpkins, orange blinking lights, ghosts made from bedsheets swaying in the trees.

Parmesan Rolls
From Paula Scott

This is definitely a family favorite, especially at Thanksgiving. There are never enough. Because of the oil and cheese, the dough is easy to handle.

2 1/2 tsp instant yeast
3 1/2 to 4 cups flour (all purpose or bread flour)
2 tsp salt
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese (I've used everything from the Kraft can to cheddar and Asiago)
2 Tbl olive oil
1 1/2 cups warm water
