QUICK ROLLS

Steps:

• Proof the yeast with a bit of the warm water and sugar in a small bowl.
• Meanwhile, mix the flour, remaining sugar and salt together in a large bowl.
• When the yeast is foaming and bubbling after a few minutes, mix it into the dough along with the two eggs, warm water and oil.
• Knead the dough (it will be sticky) until smooth and elastic.
• In a KitchenAid mixer this only takes a couple minutes on speed 3.
• Let rise in a warm place for 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
• Punch down and then shape into rolls and let rise again.
• I like to make cloverleaf rolls with this recipe, which involves placing three balls of dough, no bigger than a ping pong ball, in a greased muffin cup.
• Once the balls have risen again, brush with the beaten egg for a nice brown finish and bake in a hot oven.
• The time will depend on the size, but mine take about 15 minutes at 200 C.

60-MINUTE ROLLS (FOOD PROCESSOR)

Steps:

• Combine yeast, 1 Tablespoon sugar, and warm water in a 2-cup liquid measuring cup; let stand 5 minutes. Add milk to yeast mixture and stir.
• In a food processor, combine flour, salt, remaining 2 Tablespoons sugar, and butter or margarine. Pulse until thoroughly incorporated. With food processor running, slowly drizzle yeast mixture through feed tube until ball forms. Run machine for about 2 minutes to knead dough thoroughly.
• Remove dough from processor and place in a well greased bowl, turning to coat top. Cover and let stand in a warm place for 15 minutes.
• Punch down dough. Divide dough in half; shape one portion of dough into 12 balls. Place in a greased 8 or 9-inch square pan. Repeat with remaining half of dough. Cover pans and let rise in a warm place for 15 minutes.
• Bake at 425°F for 10-15 minutes or until rolls are golden brown.
