Home Made Rolls (with pics)

[Gunslinger]

Hello! This is one of my favorite bread recipes to make at home, sometimes I make it as a loaf of bread and sometimes as rolls. Today I did it as rolls to take some to one of the wives in our unit that just had baby #2.

Recipe -

2 cups scalded milk
6 cups flour (I use 4 cups of white all purpose flour, and 2 cups of whole wheat flour)
½ cup butter
1 egg
¾ cup sugar
2 tablespoons Yeast
1 teaspoon Salt


Mix yeast, 1 teaspoon of sugar and ½ cup of scalded milk (cooled to 110 F)
Let stand about 10 minutes.

To the rest of the milk add the butter, sugar, and salt, when 110 F add egg, beaten.

Stir in yeast and flour while mixing. Add enough extra to knead until smooth and elastic (usually less than 1 cup)

Cover and let rise until double its size (about 1 hour) best temp to rise is 75 – 80.

Form dough how you want it either rolls or loaf, let rise again about an hour.

Bake @ 350 10 – 15 min or until brown on top

When they come out of the oven put butter on top!! Then ENJOY!!!!


This is before I put them in the oven, just after the dough had been rising for about 2 hours -



And this is when they came out of the oven, with melted butter over top -



*NOTE* This recipe makes about 25 rolls when they are shaped into golf ball size rolls. After they rise and cook, they are approx. the size of tennis balls

Boil it.....just let it barely start boiling, don't let it boil over the sauce pan!!!!

Then remove it from the heat and I use a meat thermometer (clean of course) to check the temperature!

I've never actually had to do that for a recipe, but here:

Many older recipes called for you to scald milk, that is, to bring it nearly to a boil (185°F, 85°C, or more), preferably in a thick-bottomed pan, and stirring actively, to keep a protein skin from forming on the surface and keep the proteins and sugar from sticking to the bottom. Scalding served two purposes, to kill potentially harmful bacteria in the milk, and to destroy enzymes that keep the milk from thickening in recipes. Pasteurization, however, accomplishes both of those goals, and since almost all store-bought milk in Western countries is pasteurized these days, scalding is essentially an unnecessary step.
