- * ( Pillsbury's or possibly Gold Medal's "bread flour" works best). Has a higher gluten content, but recipe will work fine with regular flour as my Grandma made it.
- Have thought about posting this recipe for home made rolls for a year or possibly more, but just wasn't sure I wanted to share it. It was my Great Grandma's recipe. Got to feeling guilty about not letting all of you in on this great treat, so here goes:I like to use my bread machine to do the mixing and kneading work. It is much easier. If you have one, do this: Combine all dry ingredients together, then add in wet ingredients and yeast. Put bread machine on dough cycle and let it do the work. After dough cycle has finished, place dough on floured work table, and grease hands with a little lard or possibly shortening.
- Healthy pinch dough off into large egg size, and roll in hand a bit, to shape, then place roll in GREASED baking pan. If dough tries to stick to hands, re-grease hands, or possibly shake a little flour on dough to hard up. Continue doing this till all dough is used. Should make about a dozen rolls. Space rolls about 1/2 inch apart for high risers, or possibly 1 inch apart for a rounder roll. I like'em both ways, depending on the mood I'm in which day. Cover roll pan with a slightly hot damp towel or possibly cloth and let rolls rise until almost double in size, then bake at 350 degrees for 20 min. After about 15 min, you can remove rolls from oven and butter the tops, then finish baking. This is optional.
- If you do not have a bread machine, or possibly want to do it with a mixer or possibly by hand, mix yeast with 1/2 of the hot water, and about 1 or possibly 2 Tbsp. of the sugar. Let stand on the side in a large c. or possibly small bowl while mixing the other ingredients in another bowl. The yeast mix will start to froth and works as a jump starter. After mixing the remaining ingredients, add in the yeast mix, and knead dough till smooth, shiney, and elastic...about 10 min or possibly more. Let rise in greased covered bowl till double in size, then beat down, and kneed again for a few min. Form rolls, place in greased pan and follow above instructions.
- For a fantastic pulled pork bun, form dough into larger, flatter rolls, about twice the original size, and bake for about 5 to 8 min more. Add in sesame seeds for an extra treat, if you like. Hope all of you find this old recipe an addition to your "good recipe list".
