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!!

Easy Ranch Rolls

Melt on cube butter or margarine
Add one packet of Ranch dressing.
Dip frozen rolls in mixture.  Don't get in a hurry, if you add too many rolls you will freeze your butter.  I only do about 4 or 5 at a time.  Grease a cookie sheet and place rolls on it.  Bake as indicated on the bag.  These are always popular when I serve them.

We hope you enjoy this quick and easy recipe.

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!)
