Cool Rise Bread Dough Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Place 5-1/2 cups flour plus sugar, salt, yeast and butter in bowl. Using your Kitchenaid mixer, attach the bowl and dough hook and turn on to speed 2 and mix 1 minute. Add warm water slowly for about 1 minute and then mix 1 minute more.
• 2. Still on Speed 2, add remaining flour 1/2 cup at a time until the dough clings to the dough hook and cleans the sides of the bowl for about 5 minutes. Continue kneading for about 10 minutes on Speed 2 or until the dough is elastic and smooth.
• 3. Remove the bowl from the mixer and cover dough with plastic wrap and a towel and let it rest for about 20 minutes.
• 4. Split dough in half, roll each to a 14 x 9 inch rectangle, then roll up to shape into loaves. In two well greased loaf pans, place the loaves, brush with oil and with plastic wrap, cover loosely. Refrigerate 2 to up to 12 hours.
• 5. When dough has risen and ready to bake, uncover carefully. Puncture any bubbles that may have formed and let stand at room temperature for about 10 minutes.
• 6. Bake at 400 degrees F for 35-40 minutes. When done, remove from pans and let cool on racks.

Steps:

• Mix yeast in warm water until dissolved.
• Add rest of ingredients and enough flour to make clean away from bowl.
• Cover and place in refrigerator (dough should be a little sticky).
• Let rise 2 hours before using.
• Dough will keep a couple weeks in refrigerator.
• Use with Bierox,cinnamon rolls,or hot rolls Bake at 350 degrees.

Steps:

• Mix 3 1/2 cups of the flour, the sugar, salt, shortening and yeast in large bowl. Add warm water. Beat with electric mixer on low speed 1 minute, scraping bowl frequently. Beat on medium speed 1 minute, scraping bowl frequently. Stir in enough remaining flour, 1 cup at a time, to make dough easy to handle.
• Turn dough onto lightly floured surface. Knead about 10 minutes or until smooth and elastic. Place in greased bowl and turn greased side up. Cover and let rise in warm place 40 to 60 minutes or until double. Dough is ready if indentation remains when touched.
• Grease bottoms and sides of 2 loaf pans, 9x5x3 or 8 1/2x4 1/2x2 1/2 inches.
• Punch down dough and divide in half. Flatten each half with hands or rolling pin into rectangle, 18x9 inches, on lightly floured surface. Roll dough up tightly, beginning at 9-inch side, to form a loaf. Press with thumbs to seal after each turn. Pinch edge of dough into roll to seal. Press each end with side of hand to seal. Fold ends under loaf. Place seam side down in pan. Brush loaves lightly with butter. Cover and let rise in warm place 35 to 50 minutes or until double.
• Move oven rack to low position so that tops of pans will be in center of oven. Heat oven to 425°F.
• Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until loaves are deep golden brown and sound hollow when tapped. Remove from pans to wire rack. Brush loaves with butter; cool.

Steps:

• Make your dough, put in a greased bowl and flip, to coat both sides. Cover dough with a clean damp dish cloth.
• Fill a large glass measuring cup half way with water. Heat in microwave until water just comes to a boil and steams up the microwave.
• Quickly open the door and put the dough bowl in with the water. Close the door before all the steam escapes.
• By the way, I've never tried it with the dough right on top of the water, like Bonnie's pic. I always push the water to the back corner.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine 2-1/2 cups of flour, sugar, undissolved yeast and salt. Heat water, milk, and butter until very warm (120°-130°). Gradually add mixture to dry ingredients; beat 2 minutes at medium speed of electric mixer, scraping bowl occasionally. With spoon, stir in enough remaining flour to make a soft dough. Knead on lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 8-10 minutes. Place kneaded dough in a greased bowl, turning to grease top. Cover; let rise in warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, about 30-60 minutes. (With RapidRise Yeast, cover kneaded dough and let rest on floured surface 10 minutes.) Shape, let rise and bake according to options below:, LOAF: (use half of dough): Roll dough into a 12x7-in. rectangle. Beginning at short end, roll up tightly as for jelly roll. Pinch seam and ends to seal. Place, seam side down, in greased 8x4-in. loaf pan. Cover; let rise in warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, about 1 to 1-1/2 hours. Bake at 400° for 30 minutes or until done. Remove from pan; let cool on wire rack. Yield: 1 loaf., ONION ROLLS: (use half of dough): Divide dough into 10 equal pieces; shape into smooth balls. Place in a greased 8-in. round baking pan. Cover; let rise in warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, about 30-60 minutes. Beat 1 egg with 1 tablespoon water; brush over rolls. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons dried minced onion. Bake at 375° for 25 minutes or until done, covering with foil during the last 5 minutes of baking to prevent excess browning. Remove from pan; let cool on wire rack. Yield: 10 rolls., SOFT HERB BREADSTICKS: (use half of dough): Divide dough into 12 equal pieces; roll each into a 15-in. rope. Twist each rope several times if desired. Place on two greased baking sheets. Cover; let rise in warm, draft-free place until risen slightly, about 10-20 minutes. Lightly beat 1 egg white; brush over breadsticks. Sprinkle with herbs or herb blends such as oregano, dill weed or Italian herb seasoning. Bake at 400° for 15 minutes or until done. Remove from sheets; let cool on wire rack.
