Steps:

• In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in 1/2 cup warm water. Add 1 tablespoon sugar; let stand for 5 minutes. Add the oil, salt, remaining warm water and sugar and 4 cups flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough., Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour., Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide into 16 pieces. Shape each into a ball. Place 2 in. apart on greased baking sheets. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes., Preheat oven to 400°. Beat egg white and cold water; brush over rolls. Sprinkle with poppy and/or sesame seeds. With scissors, cut a 1/4-in.-deep cross on tops of rolls. , Bake at 400° for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool.

Steps:

• 1. In a large bowl, combine flour, salt, sugar and un dissolved yeast. (If using instant yeast if you are using regular bloomed yeast wait to add till step 2) and combine well.
• 2. Add Water and Oil and (bloomed yeast if you are using it) Using a dough hook or hands combine throughly, Then knead about 5 to 10 minutes adding flour if necessary, until if forms a nice soft ball.
• 3. Grease a large bowl with non stick spray and place dough in bowl, flipping it a couple of times to cover with oil. Cover with plastic wrap and a tea towel and let rise, for about an hour or until doubled in size. ( If my house is cold in the winter I usually put it on a heating pad on low.)
• 4. At this point you want to preheat your oven to 400 degrees, you want it nice and HOT! Remove, pound down and turn out onto a lightly floured surface. divide into 12 pieces, if you are using a scale about 4 and a quarter ounces a piece. Shape each piece into a ball. With very sharp knife cut a 1/4 in deep cross on tops of rolls. Place cut side down onto a greased cookie sheet and 2 inches apart. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes.
• 5. Whip together egg white and water. Flip balls over and brush egg white and water mixture. Add poppy seeds or sesame seeds at this time.
• 6. Bake at 400° for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown. Place on wire racks to cool. If you would like to you can cut this recipe in half.
• 7. If you would like to add herbs to this bread mix about a Tablespoon of dried herbs into the flour mixture. I would add oregano, and basil, when I am serving pizza burgers, I would add a little thyme and rubbed sage, if I am going to make left over turkey sandwiches from Thanksgiving. Use your imagination!!!!

Steps:

• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, dissolve yeast in warm water with sugar. Let sit until mixture bubbles, about 5 minutes.
• Add flour, all but 1 tablespoon of Parmesan cheese, salt, and oil, and one egg white to yeast mixture and blend on low speed until dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl in one mass, about 5 minutes.
• Knead the dough by hand until any remaining bits of flour and cheese are fully combined.
• Remove dough from the mixing bowl, spray the inside of the bowl with cooking spray, then return the dough to the bowl. Wet the perimeter of the bowl with water and cover with plastic wrap, sticking the plastic wrap to the wet outside of the bowl. Allow to rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
• Coat two baking sheets with cooking spray. After dough has risen, turn it out onto a clean surface. Divide dough into 8 pieces, roll them into a ball, and then press them down, evenly-spaced, into discs on the sheets. Allow the dough to rise until about double in size, about 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven to 425°F and arrange one rack in the middle and the second on the bottom. Place a metal baking sheet on the bottom rack.
• Mix remaining egg white with cold water in a small bowl until evenly combined. Brush tops of rolls with egg wash, sprinkle evenly with poppy seeds.
• Place ice cubes on the preheated baking sheet, and immediately place baking sheet with rolls on the upper rack. The steam from the melting ice will create a crisper exterior to the rolls.
• Bake for about 15 minutes or until golden brown. Transfer rolls to a wire rack to cool for at least 30 minutes.

Steps:

• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, dissolve yeast in warm water. Let sit until mixture bubbles, about 10 minutes. (If mixture does not bubble, either the liquid was not at the correct temperature or the yeast is old.)
• Add 1 1/2 cups of the flour, 1/4 cup of the Parmesan, salt, sugar, and shortening to yeast mixture and stir on low speed until just combined. Add 1 egg white and mix until completely incorporated.
• With mixer running, slowly sprinkle in remaining flour a few tablespoons at a time, until dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl in one mass, about 5 minutes. Continue mixing dough until smooth and elastic, about 8 to 10 minutes more.
• Lightly oil a large bowl with 1 teaspoon of the vegetable oil. Place dough in the bowl and turn to coat in oil. Cover with a damp towel and let rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour. Meanwhile, oil a baking sheet with remaining 2 teaspoons oil and set aside.
• After dough has risen, punch it down and turn it out onto a clean surface. Divide dough into 6 pieces (each about 4 1/2 ounces) and shape into 12-inch ropes.
• To form a roll, tie one rope into a loose knot; you want 3-inch "tails" on either side of the knot. Take the tail that is on top, wrap it underneath the knot, then push it up through the center hole. Bring the second tail over top of the knot and push it down through the center hole. The formed roll will be an elaborate knot that will look the same on top and bottom. Repeat to form 6 rolls.
• Place rolls about 3 inches apart on the oiled baking sheet, cover with a damp towel, and let rise until puffy and about 1 1/2 times larger, about 45 minutes. Meanwhile, heat the oven to 425°F and arrange one rack in the middle and the second on the bottom. Place a metal baking sheet on the bottom rack.
• Mix remaining egg white with cold water in a small bowl until evenly combined. Brush tops of rolls with egg wash, sprinkle evenly with poppy seeds and remaining 1 tablespoon Parmesan, and place on a baking sheet.
• Place ice cubes on the preheated baking sheet, and immediately place baking sheet with rolls on the upper rack. Bake until golden and internal temperature reaches 190°F, about 20 minutes. Transfer rolls to a wire rack to cool for at least 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Combine 1-1/2 cups flour, undissolved yeast, sugar, salt and garlic powder in a large mixer bowl. Heat water, milk and butter until very warm (120 degrees F to 130 degrees F). Add to dry ingredients and beat for 2 minutes at medium speed of electric mixer, scraping bowl occasionally. Stir in enough additional flour to make a soft dough.
• Cover and let dough rest 10 minutes in bowl.
• Portion dough evenly into 12 to 15 greased muffin cups (2-1/2 x 1-1/4 inches).
• Tip: Use an ice cream scoop to make portioning easier. Cover; let rise in warm, draft free place until doubled in bulk, about 35 minutes.
• Combine egg white with 1 tablespoon water. Carefully brush tops of rolls with egg mixture; sprinkle with cheese. Bake at 375 degrees F for 15 to 18 minutes, or until lightly browned on top. Remove from pans and cool on wire rack.

Steps:

• Beat egg whites until stiff.
• Set aside.
• Combine yeast and warm water, and let sit about 5 minutes.
• Add shortening, sugar, salt and 3 cups of the flour.
• Beat with dough whisk or heavy spoon for 2 minutes.
• Fold egg whites into yeast mixture.
• Gradually add flour 1/4 cup at a time, until dough comes together and begins to pull away from bowl.
• Turn onto a floured surface.
• Knead, adding more flour as needed, for 8-10 minutes, until smooth and pliable w/ bubbles.
• Place in a lightly oiled bowl, turn to coat, and cover with damp towel.
• Let rise until double, about 1 hour.
• Punch down, cover and let rise again until double (about 45 minutes.) Punch down and turn out onto lightly oiled surface.
• Divide dough into 18 equal pieces.
• Use rolling pin to flatten each piece into a 7 inch circle.
• Fold left side to center to form a flap.
• Fold next side into center.
• Repeat all the way around 4 times to make overlapping flaps.
• Lift the first flap to ease the last flap underneath.
• Press center to seal the dough.
• Takes some work, but they look pretty when you get the technique down!
• Place rolls upside down on a well-greased baking sheet, 3 inches apart to help them keep their shape.
• Let rise 30 minutes, turn right side up, let rise 15 more minutes.
• Preheat oven to 425.
• Put a shallow pan on the bottom shelf of oven.
• Lightly brush the rolls with egg wash.
• Sprinkle with poppy or caraway seeds or coarse salt.
• Place 1 cup of ice cubes in the heated pan in oven.
• Immediately put the rolls in and bake 15 to 20 minutes until golden brown (internal temp will read 190).
• Remove and cool on racks.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Place butter in a microwave-safe bowl and heat for 1 minute, or until completely melted.
• Place grated Parmesan in a separate bowl.
• Dip each frozen roll completely in butter then roll in grated Parmesan until covered.
• Place rolls in a 9x13-inch baking dish sprayed with nonstick cooking spray and allow to rise for 3-5 hours, or until doubled in size.
• Bake for 15 minutes, or until golden brown.
