Rolls, rolls, and more rolls.

So everyone who knows me knows that at every family gathering I am bringing the rolls. So it was no surprise to me when I was asked to make bread for a pioneer themed dance. Here is the recipe that I like

Ingredients:

• 5 c. pre-sifted flour
• 2 pkgs dry yeast
• warm water
• 1 c. oil
• 3/4 c. sugar
• 1 tablespoon salt

Mix the dry ingredients including the yeast in the mixer for about a minute. Add the oil and continue to mix with the paddle attachment. Slowly add warm water to form a dough. When the paddle attachment starts to struggle, switch to the bread hook attachment. You want a firm dough that tastes good. Mix with dough hook attachment for about 5 minutes. Put dough into a glass or plastic bowl and cover. Let rise one to two hours in a warm place. Form doughs into rolls and put onto a cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes until golden brown.

variation: for a white wheat roll, substitute half of the all-purpose flour for wheat flour. Food storage wheat is great, just grind it into flour. Make sure not to add more than 2 1/2 c. of wheat flour or bread won't rise properly as the wheat is too heavy. Also do not leave dough in the metal bowl to rise, plastic or glass bowls work best. Serve rolls warm with butter.
