Well I was going to link to the website on which I found this recipe, but the website is froze up and I can’t get any response from it. So it goes. The website is called The Stay At Home Chef. Google it for more info.
Anyway, the best part of these is their taste, of course; but another best part is that they are so easy.
In mixer, combine:
2 cups warm milk (I microcook for about 2 minutes)
2 tablespoons yeast
1/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons salt
6 tablespoons salted butter, softened
2 large eggs
Mix well using wire wisk attachment, then switch to dough hook before adding about 6 cups of all-purpose flour. Add flour until dough pulls away from the side of the bowl; I usually add about half a cup more. Transfer dough to a lightly greased mixing bowl. Cover with a clean towel and let rise 90 minutes.
Punch down the dough and form into 24 rolls. Place on lightly greased jelly roll sheet. Cover and let rise one hour.
Preheat oven to 375d. Bake rolls for 12 to 14 minutes, until lightly browned. Remove from oven and brush with melted butter.
Serve hot and delicious with soft butter and homemade strawberry jam!
So I took a couple of pictures when I made these Thursday. One, ready to bake.
Two, baked.
But I forgot to brush with melted butter so they aren’t all shiny like they’re supposed to be!
So amazingly good, and so amazingly easy to throw together. I’m experimenting now with it, trying to determine how much wiggle room I have as far as rise time and frig-ability. First test passed, when I friged the dough for 3 or 4 hours instead of letting it raise for 90 minutes. It rose fine in the frig, and I allowed more than an hour for the shaped rolls to rise before I baked them. That worked fine. Verdict from Chief Taste Tester Jacob said they were just as good as original. Which is nice to know because sometimes it works better to make the dough earlier, you know?
A few more experiments to do yet. 1. Use a little whole wheat along with the white. 2. Double recipe? Triple?
Stay tuned for results - - - -
oops) afternoon at the pond, I had some great helping cutting peaches for supper.
