Don't have time to make some rolls for dinner?  These are super fast and easy made out of biscuits from a can.  My kids LOVE them!!  I found the recipe on Damn Delicious HERE.

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan
• 3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 (16-ounce) tube refrigerated buttermilk biscuits

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly oil a baking sheet or coat with nonstick spray.
• In a small bowl, whisk together butter, Parmesan, garlic powder, oregano, parsley and salt; set aside.
• Halve each of the 8 biscuits, making 16 pieces. Roll each piece into a 5-inch rope, about 1/2-inch thick, and tie into a knot, tucking the ends.
• Place knots onto the prepared baking sheet and brush each knot with half of the butter mixture. Place into oven and bake until golden brown, about 8-10 minutes.
• Serve immediately, brushed with remaining butter mixture.

Delicious Dinner Rolls

I found a new favorite dinner roll!  I made these last night and I think everyone had at least 4 rolls!  They are so soft and yummy.  And the best part....they are even good the next day!  Some of the rolls I made in the past seem so bready and heavy the next day.  Not these - they are oh  so yummy!

I found the recipe on HowDoesShe.com.  They have lots of good ideas and recipes.

Here is the recipe:

1 1/2 cups of milk
3/4 cup + 1 Tablespoon Sugar
1 egg
1 Tablespoon salt
2 Tablespoons yeast
2 cups of warm water
about 9-10 cups of all purpose flour
at least 1 cup of butter

Directions:
1. Scald 1 1/2 cups of milk, 3/4 cup sugar and 1/2 cup of butter, in a microwave safe bowl, for about 2 minutes. Cutting the butter into pieces helps it melt faster. There will probably be some little cubes of butter still floating in the hot mixture, they will melt.
2. We are going to add yeast to this hot mixture, but it will be too hot to just dump the yeast straight in (it would kill it!). To cool it down stir in 1-2 cups of flour, then add 1 egg and 1 Tablespoon of salt, and leave it to cool for a couple of minutes. Meanwhile, in a measuring cup dissolve 2 Tablespoons of yeast in 2 cups of warm water and 1 Tablespoon of sugar. Let it sit for a couple of minutes until it is bubbly.  Make sure your milk mixture is just warm, not boiling and add the yeast mixture!
3.Using a fork or wooden spoon, gradually stir in 9-10 cups of flour (counting the flour you have already added to cool it earlier). I would recommend only adding 2 cups at time and stirring in between. These rolls turn out so much better when they are mixed by hand.At the end the dough will be dense and sticky, and may be hard to stir, you can use your hands to incorporate the rest of the flour if needed. Be sure not to add too much flour. Then smooth the dough out and cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Leave it in a warm place and let it raise.
4.When your dough is close to raising completely, butter 2 cookie sheets and set them aside.
5. Let the dough raise until it has doubled in size.

6.Cover your working space with flour to prevent the dough from sticking. Dump your dough out and divide it into 4 balls. Eyeball the sizes, then lift them up and feel the weight of each ball. Try to make them even, but they don’t have to be perfect.
7.Using one ball of dough at a time: roll the dough into a circle on a floured counter. Once it is rolled out spread the top with butter from edge to edge. You will use about 2 Tablespoons per circle of dough.  Cut the dough into quarters using a pizza cutter.Then cut each quarter into 3 pieces. You should end up with 12 triangles from each circle of dough.

8.you will roll the dough starting with the wide end of the triangle.Tuck the tail of the triangle under the roll and place it on the buttered cookie sheet. You will make 3 rows, with 8 rolls per row. This will give you 24 rolls per pan. Two balls of dough will fill 1 pan. You will get a total of 48 rolls!

9.Pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees. Place the pans of rolls in a warm place (on top of the oven if possible) to let them rise. Once they are touching and full in size, cook (one pan at a time) in the oven ’till they are golden brown. About 10 – 15 minutes, It may take longer depending on how hot your oven cooks. Keep a close eye on your first pan to get the right time for the second.While they are still hot and fresh out of the oven run a stick of butter over the tops of the rolls for a delicious buttery glaze.

Dinner Rolls

This recipe comes from Tammy P. our Stake Provident Living Specialist.  I actually made these rolls and they turned out great.  I multiplied the recipe by three to get a pan with four dozen rolls.


3 + cups bread flour (I used half wheat and half white flour)
1 tsp salt
3 Tbsp gluten flour
1 Tbsp yeast
3 Tbsp powdered milk
2 Tbsp oil
2 Tbsp sugar
1 ¼ cups hot water


Mix according to basic bread making instructions. Once dough has completed the
first rise, shape into rolls. Let rise for 20 minutes. Bake at 375° for 15 min. or until
golden brown. Note: 3X the recipe to make 4 dozen rolls and fill an entire baking
sheet. Freeze any extra to pull out later. To reheat: Wrap thawed rolls in foil and
bake at 350° for 10-15 minutes.

1- Mix all dry ingredients only adding half of the flour in your mixer bowl.

2- Add wet ingredients and begin mixing using the dough hook following the suggested speed in your mixer instruction book for bread. (Water should be about 115°-120°F to allow the yeast to rise.)
Gradually add additional flour until dough cleans the sides of the bowl. The exact amount of flour you will add will depend on the humidity in the air and whether you are using all whole wheat flour. Be patient as you add the flour. Only add ¼-½ cup at a time and watch to see if the dough pulls together and leaves the sides of the bowl basically clean. Remember that when making bread by hand, you are to knead the dough for 6-8 minutes. The mixer doesn't necessarily do it any faster, it just does the work for you. The mistake that often makes bread too heavy is adding too much flour.

3- Once the dough is pulling together and leaving the sides of the bowl clean, stop adding flour and just allow the mixer to knead the dough until smooth, elastic, and resistant. (About 2-3 minutes.)

4- Lightly oil top of dough (or spray with Pam), cover with a cloth and let rise until double in size. You can speed this step up by turning your oven to 150°. Once it is hot, turn the oven off and set your bowl of dough into the oven. (If your mixer has a plastic bowl, you will want to transfer the dough to an oven safe bowl first.) On the counter, it usually takes an hour or more to let your dough rise. In the oven, it is double in size in about 20 minutes. (I just left my dough in my Bosch mixer with the lid on and let it rise).

5- Punch dough down and remove from bowl. (You can allow the dough to rise multiple times. Sometimes you just can't get to it when it's ready. Maybe the turkey is still in the oven or the baby needs to be fed or the phone rings. You know you have days like this. Just keep punching it down each time it is double in size. Letting it rise a few times actually makes for a fluffier, lighter texture.)

6- Shape into loaves or rolls on an oiled countertop and place in greased pans.  Cover with a cloth and let rise until almost double - about 20 minutes.Bake according to specific recipe instructions.

Bread Tip:  Bread is done when it is golden brown and sounds hollow when you tap it.

Baked Maple Bars:  You may add extra sugar and some cinnamon to the dough.  Then roll the dough out thin (1/4 inch) and let rise.  Then bake in the oven at 350 for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.  Then frost when warm out of the oven.

Maple Frosting (mix all ingredients together)
1 1/2 to 2 cups powdered sugar
1/2 tsp. maple flavoring
1 T. melted butter
1 T. milk (add more until frosting is correct consistency)

Chicken Rolls

I have fond memories of these growing up....

2 large pkg crescent rolls
1 large pkg cream cheese
1/4 c. butter (optional)*
2 medium green onions, chopped
2 c. cubed chicken or turkey
1 small can sliced mushrooms, drained (optional)
dash of pepper

Cream cheese and butter until soft and well blended. Add chicken, pepper, mushrooms, and onions. Place 1/8 to 1/4 c. of mixture in center of each crescent roll. Wrap dough around the mixture and seal well. Bake at 350 degrees until brown, about 15 minutes.

Make a gravy from broth or chicken soup and serve over rolls.

If desired, melt 1/4 cube butter. Mix 1 c. dressing bread, and 1/4 c. chopped pecans. Dip each roll into butter, then roll in dressing/pecan mixture before baking.

*Can substitute a little plain yogurt, cream soup, or gravy for butter.
