Bolillos and chicken taco soup

My daughter had her very first day of kindy today.  Most parents would probably have been a nervous wreck so I can't help but feel a little guilty that I may have done a little dance walking out of the kindergarten.  It's fair to say that she was very ready for a break from me and she wasn't the least concerned to see me go.  In fact I think she may have done a little dance herself! 

So I feel a little lighter today with this extra few hours on my hand and I probably should have done laundry or cleaned out the fridge or tidied the bedroom but who really wants to do house chores?  What I really wanted to do was make bread.  I have made bread before but cheated a little with my bread maker.  I really felt like making bread the good old fashioned way so decided to make bread rolls and I love a good bread roll.  Especially with a beautiful hearty soup and I love soup on a cold rainy day.  

Today has been just that. Cold, miserable and rainy.  But I was nice and cozy indoors enjoying making yummy chicken taco soup, making beautiful mexican bolillo bread rolls and enjoying my new found freedom.  How I love a good rainy day. 

These bread rolls have a hard crust on the outside but are nice and soft on the inside with the slightest hint of sweetness to them.  I was pretty pleased with their outcome although I didn't get the split down the middle but it was my first attempt!  They were the perfect accompaniment to one of my favorite soups.
