My children really LOVE this recipe. It's time consuming for sure, but I double it and freeze for the next time. We serve with a side salad and lots of fresh French bread (I think garlic bread overwhelms it).

- Scoop out and make finger-sized rolls on a floured board.
- Cut with knife into bite sized pieces.
