Ingredients

5 frozen dinner rolls, thawed but still cold
1 egg, beaten


Directions

For the body, press two rolls together and form an egg shape. Place body, pointed end up, on a cookie sheet coated with non-stick cooking spray. For the hind legs, cut one roll in half. Form each half into a crescent shape. Place each crescent on heavy sides of oval or body. Cut another roll in half to form back feet. Elongate each half, making one end thicker than the other. Flatten each thick end and cut two deep slits to make three toes. Place each foot horizontally along bottom of body and hind legs. Spread toes. Shape remaining piece into two large balls and two small balls. With thumb, push deep depressions into middle of large balls to form eye sockets. Place sockets on each side of narrow end of body. Set small balls in sockets. Cut a deep smile from one side of the body to the other. Brush frog with egg and let rise 15 to 30 minutes. Bake 20 minutes or until golden brown. After 10 minutes of baking, remove frog from oven and enlarge mouth, opening again with knife. Return to oven and finish baking.
