Maddox Rolls and Raspberry Honey Butter

Maddox Rolls
recipe courtesy of cityhomecountryhome
I think she used to work at Maddox:)

Maddox Ranch House Rolls
2 Tablespoons of yeast (not rapid rise)
1/2 cup of warm water
1 1/2 teaspoon of salt
2 cups whole milk
1/2 cup (or 4 ounces) of  butter
1/2 cup of granulated sugar
3 large eggs
5 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour

In a saucepan, melt the butter and add the milk and salt.  Scald but do not boil.  Remove from the heat and allow to cool.

In a measuring cup, mix the yeast and warm water.  Add a pinch of sugar from the 1/2 cup measure and stir.  Let the yeast sit and proof for a few minutes.

In a large bowl, mix the yeast mixture, eggs, sugar, milk mixture and flour just until blended and no lumps of flour remain.  Do not over mix.  The dough will be sticky and very loose.

Let the batter/dough raise until double (about 90 minutes).  Mine took only 50 minutes to double in size;  I live at high altitude so my dough raises quickly.  
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.  Spoon it into greased muffin tins and let it raise again until doubled in size. 

Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the rolls are golden brown.  I'd go a little more on the underdone side.
Cool on a wire rack.  Serve with honey or raspberry butter.
This recipe makes about 24 dinner sized rolls.


Raspberry Honey Butter

1 cube butter (1/2 c.)
1/2 c. honey
1/4 c. raspberry jam
1 t. vanilla

Whip the living daylights out of this until it is super fluffy.  Don't start with melted butter.  Room temp is great.

Parker House Rolls

These rolls are yuuuuummmmmy! Because of the way you shape the rolls and dip them in melted butter, they melt in your mouth and open up in 1/2 really nicely. These are great with soups, as a side with a nice roast and mashed potatoes dinner, or simply with a little butter or jam smeared on them as a treat.

Recipe from: Mel's Kitchen Cafe:

Parker House Rolls (Two Hour Roll Recipe)


*Makes enough rolls for one 11X17-inch sheet pan

1/2 cup sugar
2 cups hot water
1/2 cup oil
6 - 7 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
2 tablespoons instant yeast

1/4 cup butter, melted, for shaping rolls

Add hot water to sugar and oil and beat with electric mixer (or by hand). Add eggs and salt; beat well. When mixture is lukewarm, add yeast and keep beating. Add flour until a soft dough forms. Do not knead. Let rise in covered, oil bowl for one hour.

Form rolls. To make Parker House rolls, roll out dough to 1/2-inch thickness and cut circles with round cutter, about 3 inches in diameter. Holding dough circle by the edge, dip both sides into melted butter. Fold in half on baking sheet and pinch edges together to seal (don't be afraid of this step - use your index and middle finger to indent the edges of the roll together all the way to the bottom of the sheet pan otherwise they will pop open while baking). Arrange folded dough in rows in pan, each nearly touching the other. Cover and let rise for 30-45 minutes. Bake at 350 degrees for 18-20 minutes. Brush tops with melted butter, if desired.

Naan

There's nothing like some good Naan to go with a curry dish! Once the naan is cooked you have the choice to either brush melted garlic butter over it or leave it as is. Both are fantastic! I feel healthier with the non-buttered version, but the buttered is super succulent. I seriously will finish off whatever naan is leftover even if I'm stuffed because it is just so good!
Naan
adapted from this recipe

14 ounces (about 2 3/4 cups) all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 teaspoons sugar
2 teaspoons instant yeast
1 egg
1/2 cup plain lowfat yogurt (I only had vanilla yogurt and the bread tasted fabulous!)
1/2 cup milk

In the bowl of a stand mixer (or in a large bowl by hand), stir together the flour, salt, baking powder, sugar, and yeast. In a small bowl, mix together the egg, yogurt, and milk. Pour the egg mixture into the dry ingredients and stir for about 1 minute, until the dry ingredients are completely incorporated into the wet ingredients.

Increase machine speed to 2 (or by hand) and knead the dough until it is smooth and shiny. Remove the bowl from the mixer and cover with a towel. Leave in a warm place to rise until the dough doubles in size, about an hour. For some reason, mine didn't rise but it still cooked up just fine.

Put a baking stone or heavy baking sheet on the lowest rack of your oven. Preheat the oven to 475 degrees for at least 30 minutes prior to baking.

Divide the dough into eight pieces and form into teardrop (mine were more like oval) shapes with your hands, about 6 to 8 inches across.

Cook two or three pieces at a time. Drop the dough onto the hot stone and shut the oven door, watching until they are just starting to turn brown in places, about 3 to 5 minutes.

Remove the naan and lay on a board. Either brush with garlic butter or don't. Serve warm with some yummy curry.

Delicious Orange Rolls

Orange Sweet Rolls

makes about 24 smaller sized orange rolls

For the Dough:
1 cup milk
1/2 cup butter
1 pkg yeast
1/4 cup warm water
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
4-5 cups all purpose flour (may need a bit more)

Orange-Butter for the inside of the rolls
Mix together until well blended:
1/2 cup softened butter
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon fresh orange juice
zest from 2 large oranges

In a small saucepan, melt the butter with the milk. Set aside to cool. Using a mixer, add the package of yeast, the warm water and 1 tablespoon of sugar and let it sit until bubbly and foamy, about 5 minutes. Add the 1/2 cup of sugar, salt, eggs, cooled milk/butter mixture and half the flour. Mix until smooth. Add remaining flour and any more extra flour until dough is just slightly sticky. It will become less sticky when kneading it. So don’t add too much or your dough will be tough. Knead for about 5-7 minutes. (I use the mixer to do this, but you can do it by hand if you want) Transfer to a glass bowl that has been sprayed with non-stick spray, cover and leave in a warm place to rise double in size. Punch down and let rise again. Divide the dough in half and transfer the dough to your counter that has been sprinkled with flour. Roll out half of the dough into a large rectangle about 1/2 inch thick. Spread half of the orange butter mixture onto the dough and spread evenly all the way to the edges. Roll your dough up lengthwise and pinch the edges to seal. Using a sharp knife or dental floss, separate the dough into 12 rolls and place on a cookie sheet that has been sprayed with non-stick spray. Repeat with the other half of the dough. Cover and leave in a warm place to rise double in size. Cook for about 15 minutes at 350 degrees until just lightly golden. Drizzle with a simple glaze of powdered sugar and fresh orange juice and enjoy!
