If you can tell, it didn't raise well, and was pretty dense, though tasty. It made for some delicious toast, and a few nice croutons.
So, I decided to try this recipe: http://dailywaffle.com/2011/10/14/milk-bread-yeast-rolls-yeah-i-made-this/ It's a milk bread roll recipe and seeing that it's Turkey Day tomorrow and I'm responsible for said turkey, I thought I'd add in rolls for fun.

Here are my changes to the recipe: Instead of 5 TBSP butter, I did a whole stick. Why? Um. I forgot and just melted the entire stick and stuck it in. I actually didn't realize that until just now when I was reviewing the recipe. I also forgot about having to do the egg wash a second time so I am off to do that. More photos in a few moments. I don't have silpat at home, so I used parchment paper.

Yeah, I couldn't wait.
Things I might try differently: I believe you can make this into a sandwich loaf, and next time I will definitely try it. I'll also keep the extra butter - the dough was beautifully elastic, and butter is awesome. Next, I think I'll add a bit more salt and will increase it by 1/2 tsp till it tastes right or doesn't rise. I don't know why, but I think it needs a bit more oomph. Finally, I think I'll let them cool before eating them. I kinda burnt my mouth a little.
I hope you try this recipe. I think it's a beautiful one to use.
Who needs sandwich loaf? Slice those little puppies in half, smear them with cream cheese and horse radish sauce, and slap some roast beef in there.
