Thanksgiving Week

I think Teddy won't be moving far from the kitchen this week.


And though she is tired...


She is still licking her chops.


And staying put.


This is a wonderful roll recipe if you are looking for a good one. In the bowl of a mixer pour 1/2 cup of milk and 1 1/2 cups of water.


Then add 2 eggs.


And 4 tablespoons of butter. Mix all of this together.


Then add 1 teaspoon of salt.


Add 1/2 cup of sugar.


Continue mixing.


Then add 4 teaspoons of instant rise yeast.


You need 6 cups of bread flour.


And 1/2 cup of wheat gluten. This is important because the wheat gluten is what gives these rolls their chewy texture.


Need for about 10 minutes.


Cover with plastic wrap and proof until doubled in bulk.


I forgot the camera for a while here! After the dough has risen, cut and shape into balls slightly larger than a golf ball and place them in oiled pans. Let them proof again until they are touching each other. Then bake at 375 degrees until golden brown. This takes about 30 minutes. When they are removed from the oven they are brushed with melted butter.


Don't these look delicious?



This recipe makes approximately 3 dozen.
