Description

I have made all of these recipes myself. I always try to show the original source of the recipe, but am constantly editing them to suit our tastes (so technically they should all say "Adapted from..."). The portions are generally small since my family doesn't consume much food in one sitting.

When searching in the categories below, don't forget to click on "older posts" at the bottom right of the screen after scrolling through them to see more recipes in that category.

*I have recently added a $ label to show that I've calculated the price of the recipe. All prices include 3% food tax.*

Dinner Rolls or Bread Bowls (Karen South)

 $2.06 ($0.04 per roll or $0.23 per bowl)
Compare: Market Pantry at Target's Petite Kaiser Rolls cost $2.56/12 ($0.21 per roll)

85 minutes. Yields 4 dozen dinner rolls or 9 bread bowls.

½ c warm water
2 Tbsp yeast
2 c scalded milk
½ c sugar
½ c shortening
2 tsp salt
2 eggs, beaten
7 c flour

Dissolve yeast in water. Set aside. Combine next 4 ingredients with 3 c flour. Beat until smooth. Beat in eggs and dissolved yeast. Add additional flour to make a soft dough. Knead well. Let rise until double (30-45 min). Shape rolls on lightly oiled surface. Pull top of dough around to bottom and pinch to make pretty tops. Let rolls rise for 45 min. Bake at 400° for 10 minutes, cover with aluminum foil, and bake 5 more minutes (to keep tops from over-browning). Lightly brush tops of rolls with water after baking (to keep crust soft).

Everyone loves these!

*Gommy makes mini rolls and calls them “Beeps.”
*To make bread bowls, measure about 3-4 rolls-worth of bread dough (8 oz) and make a "tall" sphere (rather than flat). Make a small roll using any excess dough. Follow the same baking directions above. After dough cools, cut a circular lid out of the top.





For Thanksgiving, place rolls on a large baking sheet in the shape of a turkey.
