1 cup warm water
2 Tablespoons or 2 packages dry yeast
1 Tablespoon regular or brown sugar
Stir together. Dissolve. Let foam.
Stir together the following until melted.
Cool to lukewarm and add to yeast mixture.
If it is too hot, it will kill the yeast.
If it is too cold, it won't work.
Lukewarm is about the temperature a baby likes his bath water to be. :)
1 1/2 cups hot water
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup sugar, honey, or brown sugar, or coconut sugar
2 1/2 tsp. salt
When these mixtures are mixed together well, begin to add bread flour.
Regular flour works but occident or bread flour is nicer.
Add 5 cups of flour and then gradually add more until
you have a nice soft dough but not a sticky dough.
(Recipe calls for 10 cups but add it gradually.
You might not need it all.)
Put into a greased bowl and then flip over so greased dough is top-side.
Cover with a wet tea towel over top of bowl and put in warm place
such as the oven with the light on.
Let rise until double.
Punch down and let it alone for 10 min.
Shape into rolls and let rise until double again.
Bake at 350 for 20-25 min. until lightly browned.
I like to brush the tops with butter when they are hot out of the oven.
Should make about 32 large rolls.
(When I am making sandwich rolls, I flatten the pieces of dough down with a rolling pin
on a cutting board. Then I let the dough rise. )
Make sure the pans are greased when you put the unbaked rolls on them to rise.
