Raised Rich Rolls
When I was a kid, these were the rolls my mother made for special occasions.
She usually tied them into knots.
Here they are on their last rise.
I sliced three of the tops to see if it made a difference.
Not much!
I wondered if this recipe could be used for crescent rolls.
So I rolled out half of the dough, buttered it, cut into 12 wedges, and rolled.
They were wonderful.
These are great buffet rolls.
And great sandwich rolls.
Recipe:
Ingredients:
- 2 packages dry yeast
- 1⁄3; cup warm water
- ¼ cup sugar
- ¼ cup butter
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 cup scalded milk
- 2 eggs
- 4 ½-5 cups flour
If you're making crescent rolls:
1/2 cup butter (for rolling out dough)
It makes a very soft dough.
I proofed the yeast,
then mixed all ingredients in the stand mixer for 12 minutes.
I let it rise, punch down,
rise, punch down
and shape into balls or crescents,
rise again,
then bake @350.
