Even though I'm in my 80s, I still love to bake for our children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. These hearty rolls are one of our favorites. Ingredients:
1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast |
1/2 cup warm water (110° to 115°), divided |
1/2 cup warm strong brewed coffee (110° to 115°) |
1/2 cup old-fashioned oats |
1/4 cup sugar |
1/4 cup maple syrup |
1 egg |
3 tablespoons shortening |
1 teaspoon salt |
3 to 3-1/2 cups king arthur unbleached bread flour |
1 tablespoon butter, melted |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in 1/4 cup warm water. Add the coffee, oats, sugar, syrup, egg, shortening, salt, remaining water and 2 cups flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
2. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
3. Punch down dough. Turn onto a floured surface; divide into four portions. Divide each portion into six pieces; shape each into a ball. Place in a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes.
4. Bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Brush rolls with butter. Remove from pan to a wire rack. Serve warm. Yield: 2 dozen.
