Sorry to be posting oven recipes when it's summer but with the cool weather we had over the past weeks I was eager to warm up the house!
My mother-in-law gave me this recipe and she got it from a friend. They are so easy now that I've made them by hand many times! I don't have a bowl mixer of any sort besides my bread machine. I love that you freeze them and just pull out what you want when needed. One batch lasts us 4 to 5 Sunday dinners! The freezing step can also be skipped if you want them the day you make the dough. They are delicious and perfect for Thanksgiving rolls.
2 cups warm water
2/3 cup dry instant milk
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 Tbsp. dry yeast
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup dry instant potatoes
1 1/2 tsp. salt
2 eggs
5 to 6 cups flour
Mix in order given. Knead or mix until soft and dough is forming a ball. Divide dough in half and roll one into a circle on lightly greased or floured surface. Spread with soft butter and cut with pizza cutter into 12 triangles. Cut it just like you would a pizza. Roll each triangle into a crescent by going from large end to tip. Immediately raise some for 1-2 hours on greased cookie sheet. All or some can be put on a greased cookie sheet and placed in freezer. Once hardened put in freezer bags. Remove 3 to 4 hours before baking- depends on warmth in home of course. Bake at 350° F for 16-20 minutes. Brush or rub with butter and serve!
Makes 24 rolls.
We always have to help our rolls raise better by putting them near our electric heater. It also speeds up the time by an hour.
