BUTTER RICH DINNER/SANDWICH ROLLS

Steps:

• 1. I used my Kitchen Aid mixer to mix the dough up. The recipe starts by putting yeast in a bowl and adding warm water to it to soften. I like to proof my yeast before adding it to the other ingredients. The recipe has 1/4 cup of sugar, I took 2 teaspoons out of the 1/4 cup and added it to the yeast and warm water. Yeast loves sugar, it proofed perfectly. While the yeast is softening or proofing, heat your milk to scalding. What is scalding? The milk will be hot, but not boiling. Combine the sugar, butter and salt in a mixing bowl. Pour the scalding milk over all, stir to melt the butter. Cool to lukewarm. Your next step is to stir in the eggs and yeast so please make sure that you have let the mixture cool down enough so you don't have scrambled egg in you're dough. After the eggs and yeast are added it's time to incorporate the 4 1/2 cups of flour. I did use the whole 4 1/2 cups of flour, which gave me a very nice supple dough.
• 2. After using the Kitchen Aid to mix the dough I always knead by hand, you can use the dough hook if you want to. I like kneading by hand, I get a better feel of the consistency of the dough that way. I floured my board and started kneading. As I kneaded I kept flouring the board until I had a tacky dough, not sticky , just tacky. I love this consistency with all the bread dough I make.
• 3. You may be asking how do you know your dough is tacky? Tacky is when you lift your dough from the board and it holds onto it ever so slightly , just for a second as you lift it up.
• 4. It's time to oil your bowl, shape the dough into a ball ,put the bread dough in the bowl and turn it completely around to coat the dough all around. Cover with a towel and put this is a draft free location in your kitchen. I have a gas stove , the oven is always slightly warm, a great place for the dough to rise. Let's talk about the rise, this recipe has 3 rise times. Each will be about an hour. On the first rise, after your dough has risen up, punch it down, shape it back into a ball , put it back in the bowl and let it rise again.
• 5. After the second rise, cut and shape the dough into balls, I just eye ball this but you could use a scale if you wanted to make them all the exact size. Oil a jelly roll pan and place the balls on the pan without touching so they have room to rise. Cover with a towel and let them rise for the third time. They will rise up so they will be touching each other, preheat your oven and bake. I brushed the rolls with melted butter straight out of the oven. These are DELICIOUS , light and fluffy! I think that letting them rise 3 times has alot to do with how light and fluffy they are. You can make these and only do 2 rises, but I just had to see what they would be like with 3. We absolutely LOVE THEM!! Enjoy!

CARRIE'S RICH ROLLS OR BREAD (BASIC RECIPE) WITH VARIATIONS

Steps:

• Put the warm milk in a pan large enough to hold all ingredients.
• Add sugar and yeast; stir until dissolved.
• Stir in 3 cups of flour, mix well.
• Cover and let rise until full of bubbles - (about 45 minutes).
• Add eggs (beaten until light), salt, and butter to the mixture.
• Blend well, and add remaining flour.
• Cover and let rise (about 1 1/2 hours).
• "Now the dough is ready to use and what finger paints are to a child, this bread recipe can be for you. Your imagination can run riot and the things you can do will amaze you" (Quoting directly from her instructions).
• Flour your breadboard or counter where you intend to knead the bread and put your dough on it.
• The theory is that the more you knead the dough, the better the bread will be. But don't let it run away with you. Quite a small amount of kneading will result in excellent dough (Bread or rolls) My theory is the more you knead the dough (need the dough$$), the poorer you are. Ha! Seriously, it doesn't make that much difference whether you knead it half a day or about 5 minutes. It turns out real good at 5 - 10 minutes.
• FROM THIS POINT, YOU DECIDE WHAT TO MAKE WITH YOUR DOUGH AND GO FROM THERE.
• TO MAKE BASIC BREAD LOAVES: After you've kneaded the dough the final time, take about half as much as your loaf pan holds. Roll it roughly into the shape of a pie. Starting at any edge roll it up. Tuck up the ends under so that the roll now fits your loaf pan. The rolled "seam" should be on the bottom of the pan. Bake at 325 for 1 hour. This recipe should make 2 loaves.
• Don't stop now! Here are some variations you can easily do!.
• TO MAKE COFFEE CAKE recipe: Anyway, after you've kneaded the dough, you take half as much dough as your bread pan holds and roll out about the size of a pie pan. Spread butter (about 1/2 stick) over entire top. Sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon (about 1/2 cup sugar - 1 teaspoon cinnamon). I have used apple pie spices instead and it came out fine. Roll up very tightly and tuck ends in if they are too long for your pan. Put in a warm place and let rise to double its original size - about an hour. Bake at 325 degrees F. for 1 hour.
• TO MAKE PARKERHOUSE ROLLS, When making Parkerhouse rolls, remembering that your rolls will be twice the size of your original dough! Butter your muffin tins well and put 3 equal siaed rolls of your dough in each tin. Let rise to double in size. Bake at 375 degrees F. for about 25 minutes or until golden brown. Will make about 2 doz. rolls.
• TO MAKE BUTTERFLAKE ROLLS: Roll dough very thin, cut small rounds and put about 5 in each muffin tin, endways. Let these also rise to double in size before baking at 375 degrees F for about 25 minutes or until golden brown. Makes about 2 dozen.
• YOU CAN ALSO MAKE SOME VERY GOOD PECAN ROLLS: Substitute brown sugar for the white sugar in the original recipe. Butter 2 muffin tins. In the bottom of each muffin cup add these ingredients: 1 heaping teaspoon of Light Brown Sugar, 1 to 2 teaspoons of chopped nuts or 3 pecan halves. After the final rising, shape your dough into a long roll or into two 1 foot rolls. Cut the roll into 1" slices and place each slice into a muffin cup. Let them rise until double in size and bake them at 375 degrees F. for about 2 to 30 minutes. Turn them upside down onto Aluminum foil or wax paper to cool.
