Feather Yeast Rolls Recipes

Steps:

• Be sure to whisk that flour before measuring - I soften the margarine in the micro wave.
• Place ingredients in order listed with the flour and yeast going in last.
• Choose your cycle.During the first mixing check to assure your dough has the right amount of flour and water - dough should look nice and shiny.Flours differ so you may need to add lukewarm water a teaspoon at a time if it is too dry- a sprinkling of flour if too sticky. Never add more then 3 tablespoons of either the flour or the water. In my breadmaker the whisked flour and the carefully measured ingredients are right on. Makes a large loaf.
• FOR DOUGH use dough cycle - when cycle complete shape into bread, buns or rolls. I often make braided loaves topping with sesame seeds.
• Brush tops with softened butter or margarine.Rise 20 to 30 minutes or until double in size.
• Bake in a 350 oven until nicely golden brown brushing with softened butter or margarine just before they are done - I brush them again when I take them out - makes for nice tops.
• Time varies - check your machine. Cooking time is machine and baking time.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Activate dry yeast in the tablespoon of warm water.
• Scald milk and let it cool.
• Beat eggs.
• Mix all ingredients except flour together
• Stir in flour.
• Cover and refridgerate from 3 to 24 hours.
• Form into rolls (crescent rolls, or folded rolls) cover with towel and let rise for 2 hours.
• Brust tops with the other half cup of melted butter.
• Bake for 10 minutes.

Steps:

• Mix the 4 tablespoons room-temperature butter, the sugar, the salt and the warm milk in a large bowl and let cool to lukewarm.
• Stir the yeast into 1/4 cup warm water and let it stand for 5 minutes to dissolve.
• Make the sponge: Add 3 cups flour and the dissolved yeast to the ​milk​ mixture and beat vigorously for 2 minutes​ to form a loose batter.​ Cover and let rise in a warm place until double​d​ in bulk, about 1 hour​. ​​​
• Stir in the remaining flour 1/2 cup at a time to form a shaggy dough firm enough to knead. Turn out onto a lightly floured board, knead for a minute or two, then let rest for 10 minutes. Resume kneading until smooth​, 8 to 10 minutes​.​ (Alternatively, add the sponge and 3 cups flour to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook, and knead on low until the dough is smooth and pulls away from the sides of the bowl, 10 minutes.) Cover the bowl and let rise again until doubled in bulk, 45 to 60 minutes. ​
• Using a rolling pin, roll out dough until it is 1/3 inch thick. Cut with a 2 3/4-inch round biscuit cutter or with an oval Parker House roll cutter.
• Using the dull edge of a knife, make a crease through the center of each piece of dough, brush with melted butter, fold in half along the crease, and press edges lightly together.
• Place rolls 1 inch apart on a buttered baking sheet (or use a silicone baking mat). Let rise again until dough has doubled in size, about 45 minutes. (It should feel spongy to the touch, and hold an indentation when pressed with a finger.)
• Position a rack in the upper third of the oven and heat to 425 degrees. Bake rolls until golden, about 12 to 18 minutes. Brush again with melted butter. Let cool for a few minutes, then serve warm. The rolls are best when freshly baked but can be reheated in a 350-degree oven for a few minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients except flour in a large mixing bowl, stir well.
• Add flour and mix to combine.
• Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
• Next, day remove dough from bowl and cut into fourths.
• using one fourth of the dough roll into a large circle about the thickness of a pie crust.
• Brush with butter.
• cut circle into at least 8 triangles (I cut into 16).
• Beginnng with largest end roll forward.
• Place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
• Brush with melted butter.
• Continue until all of the dough has been rolled.
• Let rise for 2 hours.
• Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 10 minutes or until golden brown.
• Immediately brush with melted butter.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. In a large bowl, combine sugar, egg, oil, salt, yeast mixture and 4 cups flour; beat on medium speed until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a stiff dough., Turn dough onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour., Punch down dough. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide into four portions. Divide and shape each portion into 12 balls. Roll each ball into an 8-in. rope; tie into a loose knot. Tuck ends under. Place 2 in. apart on greased baking sheets. Cover; let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 350°., Bake 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to wire racks.

Steps:

• Combine milk, butter, sugar, and salt in saucepan;heat until butter melts. Cool to 105°F to 115°F.
• Dissolve yeast in warm water in a large mixing bowl; let stand 5 minutes. Stir in milk mixture, eggs, and 2 cups flour; beat at med. speed with an electric mixer until blended. Add remaining 2 cups flour and shredded wheat; beat at med. speed 1 minute, scraping sides of bowl with a spatula. Cover and let rise in a warm place, 1 hour or until doubled in bulk.
• Punch dough down, shape into 3/4 inch balls, place 3 balls in each cup of a well greased muffin pan. Cover and let rise, 45 minutes or until doubled. Bake at 375°F for 118 to 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Grease a couple of 12-count muffin tins.
• Combine yeast and water in a large mixing bowl and let it sit a few minutes to dissolve.
• Add sugar, salt and egg.
• Add flour gradually and beat well.
• Add butter.
• Fill greased muffin tins half full.
• Let rise in a warm place uncovered until level with the top of the pans (although I admit to having loosely covered mine sometimes).
• Bake for 20 minutes.
• The last time I made these I think I got 18 roll/muffins.
• Your yield will, of course, vary depending on how much batter you put in each section of the muffin pan.

Steps:

• Dissolve yeast in warm water; stir in 1 tbsp sugar. Let stand 5 minutes.
• Add milk, shortening, eggs, salt, 3 cups flour, and 1/3 cup sugar. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes.
• Stir in enough of the remaining flour to form a soft dough (will be sticky). Do not knead. Refrigerate, covered, overnight.
• Punch dough down and turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Cut into 24 equal portions. Cut each portion into thirds. Roll each third into a ball. Place three balls into each greased muffin cup. Cover and rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 3/4 hours.
• Heat oven to 350* F. Bake rolls for 13-15 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from muffin tins to wire racks. Serve warm.
