Love the spinach dip at restaurants like TGIFriday's and the Olive Garden? Make it at home with these easy-to-follow copycat recipes.

The Bee-Hive Tavern in Sandwich, Maine closed in 2004 but you can still have their famous dill and onion rolls with this authentic recipe from one of the former owners.
1 cup warm water
4 tablespoons sugar
1 package dry yeast
1 beaten egg
4 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 cups unbleached flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup or more of minced onion
1 tablespoon dill weed
Pour the water into a large mixing bowl. Add the sugar and let dissolve. Add the yeast and let dissolve.
Beat in the egg and vegetable oil. Add the minced onion and dill and mix well with wooden spoon. Add the flour and salt, and mix with large wooden spoon until the dough is elastic and smooth. Cover and let rise for about 1 hour.
Drop the dough into a greased muffin tin, filling each cup half full. Cover the muffin tin, and let rise again until doubled.
Beat an egg, and lightly use pastry brush on top of each roll. Not too much egg. Bake in at 375 degrees F oven between 15-20 minutes, until golden.

A simple mistake with making these rolls actually made them better...if that is possible. When I first made them I forgot to add the oil, which made no difference to the recipe. The dough is very sticky with or without the oil. I used chived instead of onions...and wow very nice flavour!
