ICEBOX ROLLS

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, dissolve sugar in warm water.
• Sprinkle yeast into water.
• Allow to stand until yeast is dissolved and begins to bubble (or proof).
• Add oil, poppy seeds (if using) and 3 1/2 cups of the flour.
• Stir with a wooden spoon until all ingredients are well mixed.
• At this point, the mixture will be the consistency of a mash.
• Continue to add flour in batches until mixture becomes too stiff to easily stir.
• Turn out mixture onto a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes, adding more flour as needed to keep dough from sticking to surface or hands.
• When dough is "ready", it should be smooth, supple and stretchy.
• Grease a medium bowl.
• Form dough into a ball.
• Place in greased bowl, turning to coat ball on all sides.
• Cover bowl with a clean dish towel and put in a warm, draft-free place to rise until doubled in size (about 1 hour).
• I like to place my bowl in the oven with just the light on.
• When doubled, punch dough down and slap it around to get out all the air bubbles.
• At this point, dough can be refrigerated for future use or divided and formed into the desired shape (ie. dinner rolls, cloverleaf rolls, hamburger buns, etc.).
• Once formed, place on ungreased cookie sheet, cover again and allow dough to rise until doubled again which will take about 1/2 hour (longer if dough was refrigerated).
• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Bake for 8 to 12 minutes or until lightly browned. The larger the roll, the longer it will take to bake it.

• Grease the bottom and sides of a bowl, put the dough in, turn to coat, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate overnight. In the morning you are ready for your rolls!
• About two hours before baking cut off amount needed (return other half to fridge) and shape into rolls.* Place in a greased pan and set rolls on it, let rise until double (about 1 1/2 hours)
• Brush with melted butter and bake at 350 degrees F until lightly golden, around 20-30 minutes.
• *NOTE: For cresent shaped rolls roll dough into a circle, cut wedges, and roll up. For clover leaf rolls, roll dough into small balls and place 3 balls per greased cupcake pan cup.

GRANDMA YOUNG'S REFRIGERATOR ROLLS

Steps:

• Mix sugar in warm water, then dissolve yeast.
• Pour liquid into bowl of stand mixer with flat beater attached. Add mashed potatoes (don't worry if a few small lumps remain), shortening, salt, eggs and milk, creaming thoroughly.
• Mix in two cups flour.
• Change to dough hook and work in as much of remaining flour as possible.
• Place in greased bowl away from drafts and let rise until double.
• Punch dough down, then shape into your choice of roll shapes, leaving unused dough in sealed bowl for later use. If I make the full recipe, it makes a very full lasagna pan of rolls. Be sure to grease the pan using butter or margarine; it makes removing the rolls easy and adds flavor to the crust.
• Let shaped rolls rise for approximately one hour, then bake at 350° until golden brown and lightly browned on the bottom. Timing will depend on size and shape of rolls.
• Once rolls are baked and removed from oven, brush with melted butter (or unwrap part of a stick of butter or margarine and rub it along the tops of the rolls).
• Enjoy!
