A Few Recipes

At a recent bread making class, I was asked what type of rolls I would make for a Sunday dinner. I told the ladies I would post the recipes, so here you are!!

For the white variety...
Natalie's Speedy Rolls
from "Favorites"
2 T dry yeast
2 cups warm water, divided
1 cup instant powdered milk
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
2 t salt
1/2 cup butter, softened
6 cups flour

Combine 1 cup of the warm water with the yeast; set aside (I use SAF instant yeast, so I don't have to "soak" the yeast before hand). In mixing bowl, mix together the other cup of water with the powdered milk, sugar, eggs, salt, butter and 1 cup of the flour. Add the softened yeast and blend. Pour in remaining flour slowly while mixing and knead for 10to 15 minutes (I have always had to add more than 6 cups of flour...after adding the 6 cups, I slowly add flour to the dough mixture until I get a nice, tacky consistency with the dough. You need to be able to work with it.) Place dough in oiled bowl and let rise until double in size (about an hour). Punch down dough and divide in half. Roll out each half into a large circle on a floured surface and cut with a pizza cutter or knife into 12 segments. Roll up "croissant-style" and place on greased cookie sheets. Let rise 15 minutes, then bake at 350 degrees for 12-14 minutes, or until golden.

When you are feeling healthy...
Whole Wheat Dinner Rolls (or hamburger buns)
from Bosch Kitchen Center Classes
Grind 7 cups of wheat in grinder
Knead in Bosch on speed 1 with dough hook:
3 1/2 C warm water
1/2 Cup honey
1 1/2 TB Dough Enhancer
1/2 C oil
6 TB Saf Yeast
ADD:
3 eggs
1 TB salt
ADD:
Fresh whole wheat flour only until dough begins to leave sides of bowl and gathers together in the center. This is a soft dough. Knead on speed one for 12 minutes. Shape into rolls or buns. Place on greased cookie sheet. Let rise 10-15 minutes. Bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes.

And when you are needing something quick...
Whole Wheat/White Breadsticks (these are seriously easy and seriously tasty!!)
from "Bee Prepared"
1/4 cup butter
1 1/2 cups warm water
1 T. honey
4 cups flour (I like to mix half wheat and half white)
1 T. instant yeast
1 t. salt

Place large jelly roll pan in warm oven with 1/4 cup butter and let butter melt. Place water, honey, flour, yeast and salt in mixing bowl. Blend together and let knead for 8-10 minutes. Roll out into a rectangle to fit jelly roll pan. Spread the melted butter evenly across the pan. Gently lay rectangle onto buttered pan to coat underside, then turn the rectangle over so the top side is buttered. Sprinkle with Garlic Salt, or whatever seasoning you like. Use a pizza cutter to make one long cut down the middle of the pan, and then cut into 1 1/4 inch slices. Cover and let rise. Bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes.
