KITTENCAL'S SOFT AND TENDER PULL-APART GARLIC ROLLS/BUNS

Steps:

• Spray two round 8-inch baking pans with cooking spray (preferable a dark metal pan).
• Melt 1/3 cup butter then mix in 1 teaspoon garlic powder until well combined.
• Drizzle enough melted butter/garlic mixture to lightly cover the bottom of the pan; set the remaining butter/garlic mixture aside to use later.
• Attach the kneader blade to the heavy duty stand mixer.
• In a small bowl or cup proof the yeast with 1 teaspoon sugar in 1/2 cup warm water for about 8-10 minutes or until foamy (if the yeast does not foam discard and start again).
• In the stainless steel mixing bowl from a heavy duty stand mixer combine 2-1/2 cups flour with 1 tablespoon sugar, salt and 1 to 1-1/4 teaspoons garlic powder, warm milk, soft shortening and egg.
• After the yeast has been proofed pour into the bowl then start mixing/kneading adding in a little more flour if needed to create a soft smooth dough (kneading time should take about 7-8 minutes).
• Remove to a greased bowl; cover and allow the dough to rise until doubled in size (about 1 to 1-1/2 hours, rising time will vary depending on the temperature of your kitchen and also dough with added egg will take longer to rise).
• Punch down the dough then divide into 10 even pieces then shape into balls.
• Place 5 balls in each pan (4 around the edges and 1 in the middle).
• Stir the reserved melted butter/garlic mixture once again before using as the garlic powder may have settled on the bottom, the lightly drizzle on top of each bun.
• Using your hands turn the balls to coat in the butter mixture.
• For even more garlic flavor pinch a small amount of garlic powder between your fingers then sprinkle over the top of each dough ball.
• Cover with a light clean tea towel and allow to rise for about 30 minutes or until almost doubled in size.
• Bake in a preheated 375 degree F oven for about 25 minutes or until golden brown.

OVEN BAKED ONION RANCH CHICKEN TENDERS

Steps:

• Set oven to 400° F with rack in lowest position.
• Lightly grease a 13 x 9-inch or larger foil lined baking sheet.
• Place the fried onions in a shallow bowl and crush them until they are about the size of your panko bread crumbs. I used an absorbant paper towel to crush them to remove some of the excess oil.
• Add the panko, seasoned salt, black pepper and garlic powder to the crushed onions and mix together.
• Dip the chicken into the ranch to coat and allow excess to drip off.
• Coat in the onion and panko mixture.
• Place in a single layer on the greased baking sheet. Do not use a smaller baking sheet to prevent soggy chicken coating.
• Bake uncovered for 7 minutes turn and cook until done. Usually another 7 to 10 minutes depending on the size of the tenderloins. This will take longer if you use full size chicken breast.
