Moms rolls

So this has been requested several times by many family members. Since its almost thanksgiving I figured I should probably post the recipe. I am not like all those other chicks who have a recipe blog with pictures that look like they came out of a magazine. I just have regular ghetto pictures and you all will just have to deal.

Note to this recipe they also make amazing cinnamon rolls. So I will add that info to the bottom as well.


Moms rolls recipe-

Combine:
4 cups milk
1/2 cup water
3/4 cup honey or sugar

 microwave bowl for about 4 mints- stir once ( needs to be warm not boiling).

2 TBL yeast Added to warm mixture.
Put on speed 2 for a minute or till mixed well. Let stand 15-20 minutes until you air holes.
add:
 2 eggs
2tsp salt
1/2 cup shorting

turn on mixer for  minute

Add 9 cups of flour gradually

Mix until wet dough but not too sticky. add more flour as needed

Knead in machine 2-3 speed for 9 minutes

Oil big bowl- put dough in bowl
put cloth over top and let rise till doubles in size.

Roll dough and roll into desired shape

let rise in pan a little before baking.

Now if you want to make cinnamon rolls follow next after rolls have risen double in size

1. Flour and roll dough
2. Pour melted butter till dough is covered but not soaked
3. Sprinkle cinnamon, sugar, and nuts if desired
4. Roll into a long roll and then slice in 1 1/2in sections
•  like to use unflavored floss to cut dough. knives just seem to squish the dough.
5. Place circles on oiled pan and let rise
6. Bake in oven on 350 until golden
7. Frost with any icing or glaze you choose
8. ENJOY!

 

 

broccoli cheese soup- updated with my thoughts on the recipe

So I have TMJ and the doctor has put me on a no chew diet so I am having to find ways to eat good stuff that I can not chew. I have not done well with the soup creations I found at the store so I am going to actually have to make soup today. My favorite soup is Broccoli cheese. I think this is the one I love... I am hoping its not the one I just kinda like. We shall see in a few hours now won't we. 

 I'll post pics of the finished product and if I liked it or not... and any needed recipe alterations.
