20 portions

DBL-      Original recipe- 12 portions-

4.5 t      2 1/4 teaspoon dry active yeast
2c         1 cup warm water
4T         2 tablespoon granulated sugar
4T         2 tablespoon oil (I used olive oil)
4-6c       2  1/2 – 3 cups all-purpose flour
4t           2 teaspoon salt

12 hot dogs
1 egg
1 tablespoon milk

1. In the bowl with a whisk, combine yeast, sugar, and warm water.  When the yeast becomes foamy, add  oil, 2-4 cups of the flour, and salt.  mix until combined.  Knead  for about 7 minutes, stopping to add flour (up to one cup more).  The dough should stick to the bottom of the bowl but not to the sides.  It should be slightly sticky with no visible flour.
2. Remove the dough from the bowl, oil the bowl, and place the dough back into the bowl.  Cover and let rise for one hour or until doubled in size.
3. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.  Punch the dough down and roll into a log.  Cut the dough into 12 equal portions.  Roll each portion into eight-inch pieces, and twist around the hot dogs.  Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
4. To make the egg wash, whisk one egg with one tablespoon of milk.  Brush the top of each dough wrapped hot dog, and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
5. Bake at 400 degrees for about 15 minutes, or until golden brown.

9/24/24 one time i added 2 c of dry regular oats to the blender and added that to the roll mixture, then added 3-4 c of white flour.

Ultimate Dinner Rolls

Tasty

 for 16 servings

• 1 cup whole milk
• ½ cup warm water
• ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
• ¼ cup sugar
• 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast, 1 packet
• 4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
• 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
• 2 large eggs, room temperature
• neutral oil, for greasing
• sea salt, for sprinkling

1. In a liquid measuring cup or small bowl, combine the warm milk, warm water, melted butter, and sugar.
2. Sprinkle the yeast evenly over the wet ingredients, stir to combine, and let stand for 5 minutes, until foamy
3. In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt, and stir to combine. Beat 1 egg, then add to the bloomed yeast mixture. Pour the wet ingredients into the flour and use a knife to stir until the mixture just comes together and forms a dough. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-10 minutes, or until the dough becomes smooth. Add more flour as needed to keep the dough from sticking. To test if it’s done, tear off a small piece of dough and stretch into a thin layer. If the dough doesn’t rip, it’s ready. Or, press a finger into the dough to see if it bounces back.
4. Lightly grease a large glass bowl with oil. Add the dough, cover with plastic wrap, and let rest for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
5. Punch down the dough, then turn out onto a floured surface. Knead for a few more minutes, just until the dough is smooth, about 2 minutes.
6. Divide the dough into 16 equal balls, roughly the size of tangerines.
7. Knead the balls, gathering the edges of the dough toward the center to make a taut, round ball with a smooth top.
8. Place the rolls on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise for 30 minutes.
9. Preheat the oven to 375˚F (190˚C).
10. Beat the remaining egg in a small bowl. Uncover the rolls and brush with the egg wash. Lightly sprinkle the rolls with sea salt.
11. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the rolls have lightly browned and doubled in size.
12. Enjoy!

1/3c butter- room temperature

4 and 1/4c bread flour

1/2t salt

1/2c sugar

1 package yeast

1 c brown sugar

3 T cinnamon

FROSTING-

4 oz cream cheese

1/4c butter softened

1and 1/2c powdered sugar

1/2t vanilla

1/8t salt

Combine 2 c flour and yeast in large mixing bowl.

In a saucepan combine milk, butter, sugar, and salt over medium heat until temperature reaches 120-130 degrees, butter will be almost melted.

Add milk mixture to flouw mixture along with eggs and mix with electric mixer on low for 30 seconds.

Stir in as much of the flour as you can.

Place dough a floured surface and knead in as much flour as possible. Continue to knead the dough until it is very smooth and elastic(this will take about 5-10 minutes)

Cover dough with oil and plastic wrap. Let rest covered for about 15min. Meanwhile in a small bowl combine brown sugar and cinnamon.

Roll dough into a 18x21 inch rectangle. Spread 1/3c butter on dough and top with brown sugar and cinnamon.

Starting with long side, rollup dough so you have an 18'' log. Cut into 12 even rolls. Grease 9x13 pan and place rolls on pan. Cover with plastice wrap and a towel, let rise for 45 min or until doubled.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

While rolls are baking, combine cream cheese, 1/4c butter, powdered sugar, vanilla and salt with electric mixer until fluffy.

Allow rolls to cool for about 10-15 min and spread frosting on warm rolls

*** Dont add too much flour before the first rise. It will make the dough easier to handle. If you add too much flour it makes a dry tough cinnabon. So let the dough stay a little fluffy and slightly tacky. You can dust the dough with flour when you roll it so that its easy to roll***

Overnight Yeast Whole Wheat waffles

• Mix night before-
• 3 1/2 cups almond milk
• 1 tablespoon instant yeast (2 yeast packets)
• 6 tablespoons butter, cut into pieces
• 2 teaspoons vanilla
• 4 cups flour (3c whole wheat and 1 c white)
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 
  
• The next day add-
• 4 large eggs
• 1/4-1/2t baking soda

The night before, combine the milk, yeast and sugar in a very large bowl (the batter will expand enormously). Allow it to stand for about 5 minutes, until the yeast dissolves and the mixture has started to foam, which tells you the yeast is active. Stir in the milk, butter, honey, vanilla and salt. Add the flour and whisk until the batter is smooth. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and allow it to sit overnight at a cool room temperature.

Next day Beat the eggs together with the baking soda and whisk them into the batter until combined

Serve the waffles hot with sliced bananas, toasted coconut, maple syrup. Sometimes I like to add mushed up bananas to the waffle batter
