Basic Sweet Roll Recipe
3 pkg active rapid-rise dry yeast
1 tablespoon sugar
1 cup warm water
1 cup butter or margarine
2 cups water
2/3 cup dry milk
1 tablespoon salt
1 cup sugar
6 eggs
11 cups flour , (11 to 12)
1/4 cup salad oil
In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast and sugar in the warm water. In a
saucepan, melt butter; remove from heat, add the water, milk, salt, sugar,
and eggs. Add mixture to dissolved yeast, stirring well. Add 10 cups of the
flour; mix well. Knead by hand for about 5 minutes, adding the remaining
flour as necessary. Oil dough to prevent sticking as the dough rises in
bowl. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 1 to 1-1/2 hours. Preheat oven
to 350 F. Grease baking pans. Punch dough down and shape into rolls. Place
in prepared pans, cover and let rise for 1 to 1-1/2 more hours. Bake for 12
to 15 minutes. Makes 6 dozen dinner rolls.
To make cinnamon rolls:
On floured board, roll dough 1/4-inch thick. Spread 1 cup softened butter or
margarine over dough. Sprinkle 1 lb brown sugar and 1/3 cup ground cinnamon
over butter. Roll dough lengthwise like a jelly roll and cut into 1-inch
slices. Place slices, cut-side up, on greased baking pans. To bake, follow
same procedure as the dinner rolls.
To make frosting, whip 8 oz. softened cream cheese with 1 cup softened
butter or margarine. Gradually add 1 lb powdered sugar; beat until smooth.
Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla. Spread over hot rolls. Makes 3 dozen rolls.
