MOM'S HOT ROLLS

Steps:

• Heat milk and shortening in large bowl in microwave until shortening melts.
• Meanwhile, dissolve yeast and pinch of sugar into warm water.
• In a smaller bowl, whisk the salt, soda, sugar and first portion of flour.
• Stir in half the flour mixture into the milk mixture. Stir in the yeast mixture, then stir in the remaining flour.
• Let rise 1 1/2 hour in a warm place covered with a damp dish towel.
• Whisk together baking powder and last portion flour. Stir into the batter.
• Cover bowl with a plate and let rise in refrigerator 12-24 hours.
• Shape rolls (see two options below) and let rise in a warm place for 1 1/2 - 2 hours. Bake at 400 degrees for about 15 minutes or until done.
• PARKERHOUSE METHOD.
• Roll dough out on floured board to about 3/8" thick. Place on cookie sheet and brush with melted butter. Fold each one almost in half.
• CLOVERLEAF METHOD.
• By hand, shape dough into 1" balls, dip in melted butter and place 3 per hole in a greased muffin tin.
• Put remaining dough back into fridge and use within the next few days. Makes great cinnamon rolls too.

HOT CROSS BUNS

Steps:

• Combine the water and milk in a medium saucepan and warm over low heat until about 100 degrees F (but no more than 110 degrees). Remove from heat and sprinkle the yeast and a pinch of sugar and flour over the surface of the liquid. Set aside without stirring, until foamy and rising up the sides of the pan, about 30 minutes.
• Whisk the butter, egg yolk and vanilla into the yeast mixture.
• Whisk the flour, the remaining sugar, salt, nutmeg, cinnamon and ginger in a large bowl. Make a well in the center of the flour and stir in the yeast mixture with a wooden spoon to make a thick, shaggy, and slightly sticky dough. Stir in currants. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured work surface and knead until soft and elastic, about 8 minutes. Shape into a ball.
• Brush the inside of a large bowl with butter. Put dough in bowl, turning to coat lightly with butter. Cover with plastic wrap. Let rise at room temperature until doubled in size, about 1 hour 30 minutes. (If you have a marker, trace a circle the size of the dough on the plastic, and note the time to help you keep track.)
• To form the rolls: Butter a 9 by 14-inch baking pan. Turn the dough out of the bowl and pat into a rectangle about 16 by 8 inches. Divide the dough into 12 equal portions, about 2 ounces each, with a pizza wheel or bench scraper. (If you don't have a scale, divide the dough in half lengthwise, then in half crosswise. Cut each of those four sections into 3 equal-sized rolls.)
• Tuck the edges of the dough under to make round rolls and place them seam-side down in the prepared pan, leaving a little space in between each roll. Cover the pan with buttered plastic wrap and set aside in a warm place until the rolls rise almost to the rim of the pan and have more than doubled in size, about 45 minutes.
• Meanwhile, position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F.
• Remove the plastic wrap and brush the tops of the buns with beaten egg. Bake rolls until golden brown and puffy, and an instant read thermometer inserted into the center of the rolls registers 190 degrees F, about 25 minutes.
• For the glaze: Stir together confectioners' sugar, milk, lemon zest and vanilla until smooth. Transfer icing to a zip bag or pastry bag, and make a small cut in the corner of the bag. Ice buns in a thick cross shape over the top of the warm buns.

CLASSIC DINNER ROLLS

Steps:

• Combine 3/4 cup flour, undissolved yeast, sugar and salt in a large bowl. Heat milk, water and butter until very warm (120 degrees to 130 degrees F). Add to flour mixture. Beat 2 minutes at medium speed of electric mixer, scraping bowl occasionally. Add 1/4 cup flour; beat 2 minutes at high speed. Stir in enough remaining flour to make soft dough. Knead on lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 8 to 10 minutes. Cover; let rest 10 minutes.
• Divide dough into 12 equal pieces; shape into balls. Place in greased 8-inch round pan. Cover; let rise in warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, about 30 minutes.
• Bake in preheated 375 degrees F oven for 20 minutes or until done. Remove from pan; brush with additional melted butter, if desired. Serve warm.

HOMEMADE HOT ROLLS

Steps:

• Dissolve yeast in warm water.
• Stir sugar, salt, and half of the flour into the yeast mixture.
• Beat in the eggs and shortening.
• Add the remaining flour and beat until smooth.
• Scrape down the sides of bowl, and cover with a cloth, and let rise in a warm place, until doubled in bulk (approx. 30 minutes).
• Stir down the dough.
• Add more sifted flour until it can be worked with hands (just add gradually until it feels right).
• Knead a few times, not a lot; just get it worked in and ready to pinch off into rolls.
• Pinch the rolls off (medium sized), and place in a greased pan.
• It may take two pans; one small, and one larger, for all the dough.
• You can also make loaves of bread out of it.
• Allow it to rise again, until doubled in bulk.
• Bake at 375-400 for 15-20 minutes .
• When done, brush with butter (while hot).
• Note: You can also use this recipe to make bread loaves (it should make 2 loaves in traditional bread pans), or cinnamon rolls.
• For the cinnamon rolls, roll the dough out, sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar, and roll up like a jelly roll.
• Slice off, place in a baking pan, and bake at the same temperature as the rolls, until done.
• Coat with frosting made with powdered sugar, milk, and a dash of vanilla.

DINNER ROLLS

Steps:

• Place water in a small bowl; sprinkle with yeast, and let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes. In a large bowl, whisk together milk, butter, sugar, salt, and 2 eggs. Whisk in yeast mixture.
• Using a wooden spoon, stir in 6 cups flour, 1 cup at a time, until you have a soft, shaggy dough (if necessary, add up to 1/2 cup more flour). Turn dough out onto a floured work surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 5 to 10 minutes. Butter the inside of a large bowl; place dough in bowl, turning to coat. Cover bowl with plastic wrap; let stand in a warm spot until dough has doubled in size, about 1 1/4 hours.
• Butter two 13-by-9-inch baking pans. Divide dough in half. Roll each half into a 15-inch rope; cut each rope into 15 1-inch pieces. Press each piece into a disk, then shape into a ball. Arrange dough balls in prepared pans. (To make ahead: Wrap pans well, and freeze, up to 2 months.) Cover pans loosely with plastic; let stand in a warm spot until rolls have doubled in size, about 1 1/4 hours (2 hours more if frozen).
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees, with racks in upper and lower thirds. In a small bowl, beat remaining egg until blended; brush onto rolls. Bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes, rotating pans back to front and top to bottom halfway through. Let rolls cool 15 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
• Slice the rolls in half and place the bottoms in a single layer in a 9-by-13-inch dish.
• Mix the salad dressing and some hot sauce together in a small bowl. Spread the mixture on the rolls in the dish. Layer on the roast beef and then the cheese over the rolls. Place the top halves of the rolls on the cheese.
• In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the butter with the lemon pepper, mustard and Worcestershire sauce. Drizzle or brush the butter mixture over the sandwiches. Cover with foil.
• Bake until the cheese melts, 10 to 12 minutes. Uncover and cook until lightly browned, about another 2 minutes. Serve hot.

CRAB ROLLS

Steps:

• Toss the crabmeat in the melted butter. Mix all the remaining ingredients except for the buns in a large bowl. Fold the crabmeat into this.
• Grill or toast the buns; you can spread some butter on the buns first if you'd like. Fill with the crab mixture. Serve with pickles and potato chips.

HOT YEAST ROLLS

Steps:

• In a medium-sized saucepan, put 1/2 C sugar & Crisco All-Vegetable Shortening in the 1 cup of BOILING water. Turn the heat off when all ingredients are dropped in the saucepan. Dissolve 1/2 C sugar & Crisco All-Vegetable Shortening. Once all dissolved, add in salt. Dissolve salt. Once everything is all dissolved add in the one cup of the ICE-COLD WATER. Stir to become a luke-warm mixture. Let mixture sit aside. In a separate cup, put the 1/4 cup of luke-warm water and dissolve the 1/2 TSP of sugar in it. Once all dissolved, but still luke-warm, add in the Active-Dry Yeast and stir. Make sure all yeast is dissolved. Then let the mixture of sugar, water, & yeast sit for 5 minutes. **If the mixture does not rise up and become bubbly, that means you have killed the yeast cells with too hot temperature of water, or you just bought a faulty pack or jar of yeast** If indeed that happens, start over with the sugar, water & yeast mixture. After your mixture has risen up and become bubbly, place out a large bowl and pour the sugar, salt, & Crisco All-Vegetable Shortening mixture into it first to make sure that the mixture is luke-warm and not too hot. Then pour the yeast mixture into the large bowl also. Stir with a wire whisk to combine well. Then add in 2 cups of the Gold Medal All-Purpose flour to the combined mixture. Stir well to combine, the mixture should look like cake batter or a little thicker depending on the day's humidity. Place a warm, wet towel over the large bowl & let the mixture sit for 15 minutes or until it forms bubbles. After the approximated 15 minutes, add in 1 3/4 cup of the Gold Medal All-Purpose Flour to the mixture. Stir and combine very well. Then after the flour is worked in see if the dough is sticky and wet. If it is sticky and wet, add in 1/2 cup of the Gold Medal All-Purpose Flour and combine very well. If it is not sticky and wet, the mixture should form a dough ball (or a roughly-shaped one). Then dump the dough onto a heavily floured board or countertop and knead by hand well for 5 minutes approximately. The dough should be springy & elastic. Once you have reached that point by hand-kneading the dough, place the dough into a well-oiled large bowl (tossing the dough to coat). Cover the bowl and dough with a wet and warm towel, and let sit in a warm place for at least 2 hours (or until doubled in size) Once doubled in size, place the dough on a lightly floured surface and punch down with hand (to remove any extra air pockets in the dough). **If dough does not rise, that means you killed the yeast in the process of combining the yeast mixture with the sugar, salt, and Crisco mixture because it was too hot, or you just bought a faulty pack or jar of yeast** Grab a pie dish that has been well-greased, and place beside the dough. Pinch off dough balls about 2" in diameter. Roll the dough in hand to form a smooth ball. Place in the greased pie dish. Continue the process until you have about 8-11 rolls in the pie dish. **Recommended: Let the yeast rolls sit over night in the chill-chest for extra-fluffy texture, but let them rise a little longer if you leave them overnight the next day** After you have your rolls ready in the pie dish, place them in a warm spot, not covered, to let each roll expand and rise. Once the rolls have risen to your desired size (let the rolls at least sit for 45 minutes or they will become hard and will look like rocks), place them in a 350 degree Fahrenheit oven and let cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until desired color on top of rolls. Glaze with melted butter and serve hot. Enjoy your hot, fluffy, and delicious yeast rolls!

HOT COCOA CAKE ROLL

Steps:

• Make the cake: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Coat an 11-by-17-inch rimmed baking sheet or jelly roll pan with cooking spray; line the bottom with parchment paper and spray the parchment. Beat the egg whites and cream of tartar with a mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form, 3 minutes. Gradually beat in 1/4 cup granulated sugar. Increase the speed to medium high; beat until stiff peaks form, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Whisk the egg yolks with the remaining 1/2 cup granulated sugar, the oil, milk, vanilla and espresso powder in a large bowl. Sift the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt into a medium bowl; whisk into the yolk mixture until smooth. Stir one-third of the egg whites into the batter with a rubber spatula, then gently fold in the remaining whites in two batches. Spread the batter in the prepared pan; bake until the cake springs back when gently pressed, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes.
• Generously sift cocoa powder over the top of the warm cake and loosen the edges with a knife; lay a clean kitchen towel (not terry cloth) over the cake. Place another baking sheet over the towel and flip the cake with the baking sheets to invert it onto the towel. Remove the top baking sheet and parchment, then dust the cake with cocoa powder. Starting at a short end, roll up the cake and the towel together into a spiral. Transfer seam-side down to a rack and let cool completely.
• Meanwhile, make the filling: Beat the butter and salt in a large bowl with a mixer on medium speed until creamy, 2 minutes. Add 1 1/2 cups marshmallow cream and the vanilla; increase the speed to medium high and beat until fluffy, 2 minutes. Reduce the speed to low. Beat in the confectioners' sugar, then the milk, then increase the speed to medium and beat until thick and spreadable.
• Gently unroll the cake. Spread the filling over the cake about 1/4 inch from the edges; reroll (without the towel). Trim the ends with a serrated knife, then transfer to a rack set on a baking sheet.
• Make the glaze: Microwave the chocolate with the heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 30 seconds, until smooth. Pour over the cake; spread to coat. Transfer to a platter and refrigerate 15 minutes.
• Microwave the remaining 1/4 cup marshmallow cream in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 5 seconds, until loose. Drizzle over the cake.
