Cooking for the Kids

When I was sick, I still sent food to the kids but I couldn't cook for them.  When I felt better, the first thing I did was whip up some home cooking for them. 

Everyone seems to really like the rolls which are served at all of the steakhouse restaurants, so I made lots of them for the kids.

Here are the ingredients:

Original recipe makes 12 rolls 

• 1 1/3 cups strong brewed coffee, room temperature
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 1/4 cup dark molasses
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 cup whole wheat flour

• 1 cup rye flour
• 2 cups bread flour
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
• 2 1/2 teaspoons active 
  
  
  Mix this all together, knead until you have a smooth ball of dough.  Cover and let it rise until doubled in bulk.  Form into rolls, cover and let rise again.  Brush with an egg wash and sprinkle with oatmeal.  Bake at 375 degrees for 22-25 minutes. 

 I made 16 quarts of the maple baked beans with 6 packages of hot dogs. Maple Baked Beans:  http://octoberfarm.blogspot.com/search?q=maple+baked+beans  There was not a bean left.

I also made a tub of honey butter for the rolls.

Another successful after school snack for the kids.  I am off to buy something I saw last week on my road trip.  Hopefully I will have pics tomorrow.
