1 Hour Rolls...

I've been on this bread making kick lately (which is kinda funny since I'm not really a big bread eater) and my friend Mary had given me an easy recipe for rolls that I couldn't wait to try out. Since we were going over to a friends house for dinner last night I decided that would be the perfect time to try out my new recipe. I didn't try one but I think everyone else gobbled them down and then teased me for only bringing one pan... so I guess that means they turned out pretty good. And it seriously was an easy recipe so I will probably be making these a lot now.

Here is the recipe:

4-5 cups of flour
1 1/2 Tbls rapid rise yeast
Mix together in a large bowl and set aside

In a microwavable bowl melt 1/4 butter (about 30 seconds)
Add the following to the melted butter:
1 1/2 cups milk
1/2 cup water
3 Tbls sugar
1 tsp salt
Microwave for 2-2 1/2 minutes until warm not too hot.
Add to flour mixture with a wooden spoon (for some reason it has to be done with a wooden spoon, but I don't know why) stir the dough as much as you can, then pour onto a floured counter and begin kneading, adding in more flour until it doesn't stick to your hands. Kneed between 6-8 minutes. Put back in bowl and cover with a towel, in a warm place let the dough rise 15 minutes. Form into balls and place on a greased cookie sheet. Cover them with a towel again and let them rise in a warm place for another 15 min. Bake at 400 for 15-16 minutes. As soon as they come out rub them with butter. (This recipe can also be used to make Cinnamon rolls or you can roll it out and fill with meat and cheese and then roll it up to make a Stromboli)
