Delicious Pan Rolls (from the 'make- a- mix' cookbook)

The 'Make-a-Mix' cookbook is very handy if anyone wants to buy it. These rolls have a wonderful light texture.

First, fix the hot roll mix:

Hot Roll Mix:
5lb (20 cups) all-purpose flour
1-1/4 cups sugar
4 teaspoons salt
1 cup instant nonfat dry milk

Combine all the ingredients together in a large bowl. Stir together to distribute evenly. Put in a large, airtight container, label and date. Store in a cool, dry place. Use within 6 to 8 months.
Makes about 22 cups hot roll mix.

Variation:
Use 9 cups whole wheat flour and 8 cups all-purpose flour instead of the 20 cups all-purpose flour. Decrease sugar to 1 cup.


PAN ROLLS

1 tablespoon active dry yeast
or 1 (1/4oz) package
1-1/2 cups lukewarm water (11o degrees)
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup vegetable oil
5 to 6 cups Hot Roll Mix

In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in lukewarm water. Blend in eggs and oil. Add 5 cups Hot Roll Mix. Blend well. Add additional mix to make a soft, but not too sticky dough. Knead about 5 minutes until dough is smooth. Lightly grease bowl and return dough to it. Lightly grease top and cover with a damp towel. Let rise in a warm place (I use my oven heated to the lowest temp and then turned off), until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour

Grease 2 9x13 pans. Punch dough down and let rest for 10 minutes. Divide into 24 to 30 balls and place in prepared pans. Cover and let rise until double in bulk. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Bake 20 to 25 minutes until browned. Brush tops with butter.
I usually make a 1/2 recipe and then freeze the leftover rolls for later.

Mom's Sweet Biscuit Muffins

Delicious!

2 1/2 cups flour
1 1/2 tablespoons baking powder
1 cup cold milk
1/2 cup sugar
3/4 cups soft butter

In large bowl combine flour, sugar and baking powder. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in milk. Stir until dry ingredients are just moistened. (Don't stir too much) Grease muffin pans well and spoon mixture into pans. Bake at 400 degrees until golden brown.

Mom's Coffee Cake

Makes 6 Servings

1/4 cup oil
1 egg
1/2 cup milk
1 1/2 cups flour
3/4 cups sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoons salt

Mix together and spread in 8x8 baking pan. Sprinkle with topping and bake at 375 degrees for 20 - 25 minutes.

Topping:
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon melted butter
1/2 cup nuts (optional)

Yumy Rolls

Dry ingredients:
3/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
2 tablespoons yeast
3 cups flour
1 tsp salt

Beat 2 eggs and add to dry ingredients

Add to flour mixture:
1 cup melted butter
2 cups hot water

Work in 4 cups more of flour (dough will be very soft, but don't add anymore flour). Shape into rolls as desired and place on greased cookie sheet. (I roll the dough into small balls, or roll into ropes and tie in knots, but it can be rolled out and made into crescents as well) Bake at 400 degrees for 10 to 15 minutes. Makes 3 dozen.

I half this recipe and freeze the left overs for later.

Grandma's White Bread

1 1/2 cups warm water
1 1/4 tablespoons dry yeast
1/4 cup honey
1 teaspoon salt
3 to 3 1/2 cups white flour

Stir the yeast into 1 cup of the warm water until it dissolves. Add the honey and within a few minutes, small bubbles will appear as the yeast ferments. Place the remaining water, flour, and salt into a large mixing bowl and then add the yeast mixture. If you have a mixer, start it on low for 1 minute, then increase the speed to medium for 4 to 6 minutes or until the dough forms into a ball in the bowl. Add more flour if it feels too sticky, but don't make it too dry.

If you don't have a mixer, slowly add the flour and salt mixture to the water, honey and yeast, stirring until you can't anymore, then turn out onto floured surface. Knead bread as you add the remaining flour. Keep kneading for 5 to 10 minutes or as long as needed (until sticky smooth)

Put dough in the large bowl and cover with a damp towel. Let rise in a warm place for 1 1/2 hours or until dough doubles in bulk.
Literally punch down the dough with your fist. Place on a flat surface and shape as desired. Place in greased bread pan. (makes one large loaf)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Let the dough rise slightly above pans. This should take between 15 and 40 minutes. Bake in the oven for 30 to 35 minutes until golden on the top.
