Decorative Bread

Our Mom always baked bread for our family and still does for Dad.  She taught us how to bake!  This is the same recipe she taught us  when we were young.

This month is Mother's day.  We would like to wish our Mom a very happy Mother's Day!

She is the GREATEST!!

Decorative Bread

I use the same recipe for this bread as I posted before under Myrna's Bread   My family loves it so it works for us!

1st ~ take enough dough to make a loaf and knead it until the air is all out.
2nd ~divide dough into 3 pieces and roll into strips with your hands.   (They don't have to be perfect.)
3rd ~ Braid.  Just like hair.
4th ~ Place in greased bread pan.  Let it rise until double and bake until light brown.
This recipe makes 8 loaves.  It looks so beautiful!!
Enjoy!

1/2 cup melted butter

Swiss Cheese

Provolone Cheese

Shredded Cheddar Cheese

Let dough thaw until soft.  Roll out with a rolling pin into a nice rectangle.  Cut with kitchen scissors 1/4 of the way in on both sides.

With a kitchen brush, brush melted butter up the center of the dough.  (The part you did not cut.)

Then place meat, cheese, meat, cheese until you get it nice and thick.  I like to top it with shredded cheddar just before I braid the bread.

Then braid the bread.

Let it rest about 30 minutes, then bake in a hot oven at 375 degrees until golden brown.

You can use any variety of meats and cheese you like.  You can use multiple types of meats in the same sandwich.  There is no limit. Use as much or as little meat and cheese as fits your families appetite! These are exceptionally good hot!  They are also a good prepare ahead lunch for Hubby~

Cheese Cream Sauce Dip For Bread

Cheese Sauce Bread

You may use any kind of bread you like.  I used the bread shown in above picture.  French bread also works well.

1 Cup Cream
2 Tablespoons Butter
1 Tablespoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
Stir constantly and bring a slow boil until it reduces to the consistency you like.  Then add 3/4 cup cheese of your choice. Stir until smooth.  Mozzarella works really well.
Pour over sliced bread and let set for about 5 minutes.
Enjoy!

Raisin & Cinnamon Bread

Raisin & Cinnamon Bread

Again, I use my basic recipe Myrna's Bread that I posted previously.  This is very easy.  Just divide your dough and roll it out into a rectangle.  Sprinkle as much cinnamon and raisins as fits your taste.  Roll the dough up and place in a greased bread pan.  Let rise until double.  Bake in a 350 degree oven and bake until golden brown.

Enjoy!!

Monkey Bread Biscuits

This is a really quick and easy thing to make while dinner is cooking.  That your family will enjoy.

Spray a 9X9 dish.
2 cans of biscuits ~ cut into 6 pieces, I used my cooking scissors.
1/4 cup of butter or margarine ~ cut up on top of biscuits.
Sprinkle brown sugar over the top.  I used about 3/4 cup.
Bake according to the biscuit package.  Then I just turn them out onto a cutting board and it just pulls apart.

Myrna's Bread

Bread

8 cups steaming hot water                         Flour As Needed ~ After other ingredients are mixed
3 cups powdered milk
1 cup sugar
1 Tablespoon Salt
3/4 cup shortening
Place these five ingredients in your mixer ~

1 cup luke warm water
Add 2 Tablespoons yeast in water and stir slightly, let it get frothy and bubbly.
Then add to above mixture, (when mixture has cooled to luke warm).  Do not add it to the mixture before it has cooled or it will scald your yeast and the bread will not rise.

Mix all ingredients together.  Then slowly add flour until the dough starts to pull away from the mixers bowl.  If you have a Bosch mixer, let the mixer mix the dough for 6 minutes.  If not, you are still able to make great bread.  Just mix it really good by hand.

Then remove dough from the mixer and place in a air-tight bowl and let rise until double.  Punch the dough down and get all the air out, then let it raise again.  Then divide in eight even portions.  Place in pans, let rise until double and then bake in a 350 degree oven until golden brown.

*Note ~ I like to bake this recipe 4 loaves at a time.  So I form the first four loaves and pan them.  Then I wait until the loaves are almost ready for the oven and form the last four loaves.  The bread cooks more evenly this way.

Nothing smells like love as much as hot home-made bread!!
Enjoy!

Turkey Dinner Rolls

Turkey Dinner Rolls

I got this cute idea from the Food Nanny on the BYU Channel --- I followed her instructions to make the rolls into the shape of turkeys, as you can see from the pictures above.  They are absolutely adorable!!  I think my grandchildren will like them!!  I did not use her recipe.

Legendary Lion House Rolls

2 cups warm water
2/3 cup nonfat dry milk
2 Tablespoons dry yeast
1/4 cup sugar
2 Teaspoons salt
1/3 cup butter
1 egg
5 to 5 1/2 cups all purpose flour

In your mixer combine water and dry milk.  Stir until dissolved.  Add yeast, sugar, salt, butter, egg and 2 cups flour.  Mix on low speed until ingredients are wet, then for 2 minutes on medium speed.  Add 2 more cups flour, and mix on low speed until ingredients are wet, and 2 minutes on medium speed.  Add remaining flour (I only add one more cup, and leave out the last 1/2).  Once combined, knead with hands, or turn on your kneading function on your bread mixer.  Place dough in a oiled bowl.  Turn over once so dough is covered with oil.  Cover with plastic, and let rise in a warm place until double in size.  Place dough on floured surface.  Roll out dough, cut rolls into desired shape and size.  Place on a greased or parchment paper lined baking pan.  Let rise in warm place until rolls are doubled in size.  Bake at 375 degrees oil for 15 to 20 minutes or until browned.

*Note:  I greased my muffin pans and pulled the little beak out just a little and put them in the muffin tin and pressed the dough down in the muffin tin.  Pictures I hope help you understand the process.  It was fun and easy!!
Enjoy!!

Freezer Crescent Rolls

Freezer Crescent Rolls

I found this recipe on the sister's cafe blog.  It is delish!  Thanks for sharing ladies!!

3 teaspoons active dry yeast
2 cups warm water
1/2 cup butter, softened
2/3 cup nonfat dry milk powder
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup mashed potato flakes
2 eggs
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
6 to 6 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

In a large mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water.  Add the butter, milk powder, sugar, potato flakes, eggs, salt, and 3 cups flour.  Beat until smooth.  Stir in enough remaining flour to form a firm dough (for this a kitchen aid mixer is used.)  Turn onto a heavily floured surface; knead 8-10 times.  Divide dough in half.  Roll each portion into a 12-inch circle; cut each circle into 16 wedges (pizza cuter works great for this).  Roll up wedges from the wide end and place point side down 2 inches apart on a waxed paper-lined baking sheets.  Curve ends to form crescent shape.

To use Frozen Freezer Rolls:

Arrange frozen rolls 2 inches apart on baking sheets coated with nonstick cooking spray.  Cover and thaw in refrigerator overnight.  Let rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled.  Bake at 350 for 15-17 minutes or until golden brown.

*Busy Bee Note-- I always make more, generally I four times this recipe and then we can have hot delicious rolls whenever we want to with no fuss!  It's great for Sunday dinner, when the family comes over, or especially for my hubby!!   Also I usually get them out early Sunday morning and put then on a greased baking sheet.  Then I cover with saran wrap and when we get home from church they are ready to bake.  Hope you enjoy them too!!

Texas Road House Rolls - Copy Cat Recipe

Texas Roadhouse Rolls - Copycat Recipe

adapted from: Good Stuff Maynard

I found this recipe on Eat Cake For Dinner

4 tsp. active dry yeast

1/2 c. warm water

2 c. milk, scalded and cooled to lukewarm

3 Tbl. of melted butter, slightly cooled

1/2 c. sugar

2 quarts all purpose flour (7-8 cups)

2 whole eggs

2 tsp. salt

Dissolve yeast in warm water with a teaspoon of sugar; let stand until frothy. Combine yeast mixture, milk, 1/2 cup sugar and enough flour to make a medium batter (about the consistency of pancake batter). Beat thoroughly. Add melted butter, eggs and salt. Beat well. Add enough flour to form a soft dough. Sprinkle a small amount of flour onto counter and let dough rest. Meanwhile, grease a large bowl. Knead dough until smooth and satiny and put in greased bowl; turn over to grease top. (I used the dough hook on my Kitchen-Aid to knead this for about 4-5 minutes). Cover and let rise in a warm place until double in bulk. Punch down. Turn out onto a floured board. Divide into portions for shaping; let rest 10 minutes. Shape dough into desired forms. Place on greased baking sheets. Let rise until doubled.

Bake at 350 degrees for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown. Baste immediately with butter. Yield: 5 to 6 dozen. Serve with Cinnamon Honey Butter.

*Jenn's Notes: I shaped my rolls by rolling out the dough into a rectangle, about 1/2-inch thick, then I folded the rectangle in half, making it about 1-inch thick. I used my rolling pin and rolled over the dough, ever so gently, just to seal the two halves together. I then used a dough scraper and cut the rolls into squares and placed those on my greased baking sheet. I cut the recipe in half and I got exactly 12 big rolls and baked them for 16-17 minutes. In order to get the 5-6 dozen rolls like the recipe states, you would have to make really small rolls.

*I followed Jenn's directions how to make and shape these rolls.  These rolls looked like Texas Road House Rolls, but mine tasted more like bread.  My Hubby liked them better the next day.  I love to bake breads and rolls, I know everyone likes different recipes.  But all of my family agreed they do taste like bread.  (Good bread!)
