As a newly married wife, I was desperate to cook well for my husband. My best friend, Christy, gave me this recipe. It's very versatile and can be used for pizza dough, bread, cinnamon rolls. Super easy, too. Now that I've got other favorites for those specific items, I don't use this one as much, but I still think it's a great go-to recipe.
Mix in order listed:
2 cups very hot water
1/2 stick butter
1 egg
1/2 cup sugar
2 tsp salt
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 packets yeast
4-6 cups all-purpose flour
Add last flour in increments of 2 cups-blend until smooth. Knead. When well mixed, coat dough with non-stick cooking spray. Let rise in warm area. Punch down dough with fist to release air bubbles while dough is rising. After dough has risen ~45 minutes. Pinch off in small balls and push through circle formed by fingers and thumb. Place in bread pans coated with non-stick spray. Each bread pan should hold 8 rolls. Allow to rise approx. 30-45 minutes. Cook @ 375 degrees for 20-25 minutes.
Family Recipe Collection
What's This About?
Food is such a wonderful thing! Not only does it sustain us, but it enriches our lives. How many times have you tasted a dish and it takes you back to another time and place-- one filled with cherished memories? How many times have you tried to recreate those memorable dishes to find that you can't remember all the ingredients or how they are suppose to intermingle?
This is a food project for my family. My intention is to shorten the distance between us all and share in making memories together. I want us all to add tried and true recipes from past and present generations. Please feel free to add any stories or thoughts to these recipes, too.
When this project is near completion, I hope to have a marvelous collection of recipes that bring us closer together as a family. We'll have an heirloom cookbook of recipes and stories we can pass onto future generations.
