Sweet Rolls
“It’s the miracle bread for any meal.”
Ingredients
- 3 1/2 C. Warm Water
- 1 C. Oil
- 3/4 C. Sugar or 1/2 C. Honey
- 6 Tbsp. Instant Active Dry Yeast
- 1-1½ Tbsp. Salt
- 3 Eggs
- 10½ C. Flour
Instructions
- Mix together:
- Warm water, oil, sugar or honey, instant active dry yeast ( a yeast taste does not result from too much yeast but, rather, from the yeast getting too warm. May use less yeast but the rising time will be longer)
- Let rest about 15 minutes.
- Then add:
- salt, eggs, and flour (whole wheat or white)
- Kneed until smooth dough is formed.
- Shape immediately into rolls.
- Let rise , covered, about 10 minutes.
- Bake in preheated 425° F. oven (375° for glass pans) about 10 minutes for rolls and buns, about 25-30 minutes for cinnamon rolls.
- ~May brush buns with beaten egg white and sprinkle with sesame seeds immediately after taking them out of the oven (or the seeds won't stick).
- ~Braided breads: Make a dent in each braid and fill with shredded Parmesan cheese and dill or caraway or other seeds or fill with something sweet!
For Cinnamon Rolls:
- Roll out dough and cover lightly with butter, then sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon. Roll up, jelly-roll style, pinching seams; cut into about 1" thick slices.
