- To continue to determine the distinctive characteristics of yeast products in relation to other batters and doughs.
- Prepare yeast roll dough and shape into a variety of products.
Yeast Rolls
| 1¼ tsp. active dry yeast | 1 tbsp. sugar |
| 2 tbsp. warm water (46°C) | ¾ tsp. salt |
| ½ cup scalded milk | ½ egg |
| 1 tbsp. vegetable shortening | 1½-1¾ cups all-purpose flour |
Hydrate yeast in warm water. Mix scalded milk, shortening, sugar, and salt. Add ½ cup of flour and mix well. Cool to lukewarm if necessary. Add yeast and egg, and beat well. Stir in only enough flour to make a soft dough and let rest 5 minutes. Knead on floured board until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. Place in greased bowl, turning dough over to grease top; cover with damp cloth. Let rise in warm place (26-32°C) 30 minutes.* Punch down and shape into rolls.
Place on greased baking sheet.** Let rise in warm place until almost double in bulk. Bake plain rolls at 425°F for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Bake sweet rolls at 375oF for time specified. When rolls are done, remove from pan and place on cooling rack to cool.
*Or refrigerate up to 72 hours. Punch down as needed. After refrigeration, let stand at room temperature at least 30 minutes.
**Baking sheet need not be greased for plain rolls.
Potato Rolls
| ¼ cup mashed potatoes | 3 tbsp. sugar |
| 1¼ tsp. active dry yeast | ½ tsp. salt |
| 2 tbsp. warm water (46°C) | ½ egg, beaten |
| ¼ cup scalded milk | 1¼ -1½ cups all-purpose flour |
| 2 tbsp. vegetable shortening |
Prepare instant or fresh mashed potatoes.
Hydrate yeast in warm water. Mix scalded milk, shortening, sugar, and salt. Cool to lukewarm. Mix in yeast, potatoes, and eggs. Add one cup flour and beat until smooth. Add just enough flour to make a soft dough and let rest 5 minutes. Knead on floured board until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. Place in greased bowl, turning dough over to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place (26-32°C) until double in bulk.* Shape into rolls; let rolls rise in a warm place until double in bulk. Bake plain rolls at 425°F for 10-12 minutes and sweet rolls at 375°F about 12-14 minutes or until done.
Bran Rolls
| 1¼ tsp. active dry yeast | 3 tbsp. sugar |
| ¼ cup warm water (46°C) | ½ tsp. salt |
| ¼ cup unprocessed wheat bran | ½ egg, beaten |
| ¼ cup boiling water | 1½-1¾ cups all-purpose flour |
| ¼ cup vegetable shortening |
Hydrate yeast in warm water. Pour boiling water over bran and add shortening, sugar, and salt. Cool to lukewarm; add yeast and egg. Add ½ cup flour and mix well. Add just enough flour to make a soft dough and let rest 5 minutes. Knead on floured board until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. Place in greased bowl, turning over to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place (26-32°C) until double in bulk.* Shape into rolls; let rolls rise in a warm place until double in bulk. Bake plain rolls at 425°F for 10-12 minutes and sweet rolls at 375°F for about 12-14 minutes or until done.
*Or refrigerate up to 72 hours. Punch down as needed. After refrigeration, let stand at room temperature at least 30 minutes.
Whole Wheat Bread or Rolls
| 1¼ tsp. active dry yeast | ½ tsp. salt |
| ½ cup warm water (46°C) | ⅔- ¾ cup all-purpose flour |
| 2 tbsp. vegetable shortening | ⅔- ¾ cup whole wheat flour |
| 1½ tbsp. sugar |
Hydrate yeast in warm water. Measure shortening, sugar, and salt into bowl; mix; add yeast. Add ½ cup all-purpose flour and beat until smooth. Add remaining flour, alternating additions of white and whole wheat flours so that approximately equal amounts of each are included. Add just enough flour to make a soft dough and let rest 5 minutes. Knead on lightly floured board until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. Place dough in greased bowl, turning to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place (26-32°C) until double in bulk*.
Shape into rolls or loaf; if loaf, use greased 6 x 3¼ -inch pan. Let rise in warm place until double in bulk. Bake bread at 425°F for about 25 minutes, rolls at 425°F about 10-12 minutes, and sweet rolls at 375°F for about 12-14 minutes.
*Or refrigerate up to 72 hours. Punch down as needed. After refrigeration, let stand at room temperature at least 30 minutes.
