Ingredients

• 6 Rhodes™ Dinner Rolls, thawed to room temperature
• 1 egg, beaten
• Mayonnaise, if desired
• 3 lettuce leaves

Instructions

1. Cut 1/2 off of one roll and roll it into a 10 inch rope. Cut the rope into 4 segments for the laces. Set aside.

5. Brush with egg and let rise for 30 minutes.
6. Bake at 350 degrees F for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
7. Let cool and then slice.
