Ramona plans to have a bread-baking day at church (after school is out) to help anyone who wants to learn how to make bread. She will use the Oat Dinner Rolls Recipe (posted tomorrow) to begin learning how to make yeast bread. This is the first bread recipe she taught her girls to make. If you are interested in participating in the bread-baking day, contact Ramona.
Even if you don't want to make bread, Ramona suggested that everyone consider doing something for someone in the next weekto encourage them. (It does not have to be making bread.)
We will be posting Ramona's bread recipes here for the next few days.
Bonnie's Rolls
- 1 cup hot water
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup shortening
- 2 eggs
- 6 cups flour
- 2 packages yeast
- 1 cup warm water to dissolve yeast in
Melt sugar and shortening in hot water, add salt. When this is lukewarm, put in a bowl and add eggs and dissolved yeast. Add flour, 3 cups at a time, measuring then sifting. Put in a large bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and set in the refrigerator for at least 45 minutes. When ready to use, put on a floured counter. Press with your hand to about a 1/2-inch thickness. Cut with a biscuit cutter. Take each circle and dip half in butter. Fold in half (fold a little more than half so it will not unfold while rising)and put in a greased pan. Let rise for 30-60 minutes. Bake at 325-350° for 25-30 minutes. Butter the top when you take out of oven. Tupperware's large green bowl is perfect for doubled recipe.
1 package of yeast is equal to 2½ teaspoons.
