Freezer Dinner Rolls - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
5 1/2 cups flour, up to 6 1/2 cups
1/2 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 (1/4 ounce) packages active dry yeast
1 1/4 cups water
1/2 cup milk
1/3 cup margarine
2 large eggs
Preparation
-
In a large bowl thoroughly mix 2 cups flour, sugar, salt and active dry yeast.
Combine water, milk and margarine in a saucepan; heat until 120 to 130 degrees F (margarine does not need to melt).
Gradually add to dry ingredients and beat 2 minutes at medium speed of electric mixer, scraping bowl occasionally. Add eggs and 1/2 cup flour; beat at high speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally.
Stir in enough additional flour to make a soft dough.
Turn out onto lightly floured board; knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 to 10 minutes.
Cover with plastic wrap, then a towel, let rest 20 minutes.
Punch down dough again; shape into desired shapes for dinner rolls.
Place on greased baking sheets; cover with plastic wrap and foil, sealing well.
Freeze until firm.
Transfer to plastic bags (freeze up to 4 weeks).
TO BAKE: Remove from freezer; place on greased baking sheets.
Cover; let rise in warm place, free from draft, until doubled in bulk, about 1 1/2 hours.
Bake at 350 degrees F 15 minutes, or until golden brown and done.
Remove from baking sheets and let cool.
