Serve
rolls for breakfast, lunch or dinner with butter and jam or
orange butter from the Orange French Toast recipe. This dough is
perfect for shaping into pull-apart rolls, rosettes, Parkerhouse,
cloverleaf, fan, or crescent rolls. When serving these at a
brunch or breakfast party, they look lovely in a lace lined
basket.
1 cup fat-free milk, warmed to 110°
¼ cup
clover honey
2 ½
teaspoons active dry yeast
¼ cup
butter, melted
2
large eggs yolks
3 ½
cups bread flour
1
teaspoon salt
Melted
butter
1. Bread
machine method: Measure the milk, honey, yeast,
butter,
yolks, flour and salt into bread pan. Program for white
bread,
dough cycle and large loaf.
2. When the cycle is complete, shape rolls and place on baking
sheet
or recommended dish and let rise 45 minutes to an hour
or
until double in size. Here are the variations:
Pull apart dinner rolls:
Divide the dough into 15 rolls. Place
rolls
close together, three rows of five, in a greased 13 x 9 x
2-inch
glass baking dish. Brush the rolls with melted butter.
Rosettes:
Divide dough in half. Cut each half into 5 rolls.
On a
lightly floured breadboard, roll each piece into a 12-inch
long
rope. Tie in a loose knot leaving 2 long ends and a small
hole
below knot. Tuck top end into center of knot and tuck
lower
end under roll. Brush with melted butter. For variety,
ropes
may also simply be twisted into a spiral.
Parker House rolls: Roll dough out to ¼ inch thick.
Cut
with a
biscuit cutter. Fold in half with top half not quite at
the
edge. Brush the rolls with melted butter.
Cloverleaf rolls: Cut dough into 10 pieces. Cut each
piece
into
3 smaller pieces. Roll to form little balls. Place 3 balls
in
each muffin cup. Brush the rolls with melted butter.
Fan rolls: Cut dough into 10 pieces. Roll each piece
on a
floured
board to form a 4 x 2-inch strip. Cut each strip into 3
square
pieces by cutting twice. Place 3 cut sides up in each
muffin
cup. Brush the rolls with melted butter.
Crescent rolls: Divide dough in half. Roll each piece
into a
12-inch diameter circle on a
well-floured breadboard. Use a
pizza cutter to cut into 8 triangles. Roll up each
triangle
starting
at the widest end. Curve ends in to form a crescent
moon
shape. Set on baking sheet. Brush with melted butter.
3. Bake all the
rolls in a preheated 350° oven for 15-20 minutes.
