Mimis Holiday Wheat Rolls Recipes

Steps:

• In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes.
• Mix sugar, salt, 1/4 cup melted butter, egg, and whole wheat flour into yeast mixture. Stir in all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl. Turn dough out onto a well floured surface, and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes. Lightly oil a large bowl, place dough in bowl, and turn to coat. Cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
• Punch down dough, cover, and let rise in warm place until doubled again, about 30 minutes.
• Grease 2 dozen muffin cups. Punch down dough, and divide into two equal portions. Roll each into a 6x14 inch rectangle, and cut rectangle into twelve 7x1 inch strips. Roll strips up into spirals, and place into muffin cups. Brush tops with melted butter. Let rise uncovered in a warm place 40 minutes, or until doubled in bulk.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from oven, and brush again with melted butter.

Add egg; beat until smooth. Stir in enough all-purpose flour to form a soft dough. , Turn onto a floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl; turn once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour. , Punch dough down; shape into 12 balls. Place in a greased 9-in. square baking pan. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour. , Meanwhile, preheat oven 400°. If desired, brush tops of rolls with oil. Bake until golden brown, 15-20 minutes. Cover loosely with foil if top browns too quickly. Remove from pan to a wire rack to cool.

Steps:

• Dissolve the yeast and sugar in the lukewarm water; let proof for about 15 minutes.
• Add the lukewarm milk, butter, sugar, and salt; mix well.
• Add 4 cups of the flour and mix well.
• Add the beaten eggs and mix well.
• Add the last of the flour adding only enough to get a soft dough (probably will need most of it).
• Place on floured board and knead for about 3 minutes.
• Place in a greased bowl and rise once--about 1-1 1/2 hours.
• Make rolls and place on a greased pan.
• Rise till rounded in pan--about 1 hour--don't over-rise.
• Bake in a 375-400 degree oven for about 10-15 minutes--if they are getting too brown, cover them with a piece of foil.
• CHEESE FINGERS: Make dough fingers about 2"-3" long; dip one side in melted butter and then in parmesan cheese--bake.

Steps:

• For the rolls: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8-inch square cake pan with cooking spray or butter.
• Mix the granulated sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract and peppermint extract in a bowl. Unroll the crescent dough sheets and coat each sheet in half of the butter mixture, spreading it to the edges of the sheets. Roll each sheet tightly, starting with the longer side, and place the seam side down. Cut each roll into 8 equal pieces, making a total of 16 pieces. Arrange the pieces in the prepared cake pan.
• Bake until golden and cooked through, 22 to 24 minutes. Let cool completely, about 30 minutes.
• For the glaze: Meanwhile, make the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, milk and peppermint extract, Add the melted butter and red food coloring, whisking until completely combined.
• Remove the cooled rolls from the pan and top each one with the glaze. Sprinkle over the crushed candy canes and serve.

Steps:

• Make the sponge: Put molasses, yeast and water in a large mixing bowl (or the bowl of a stand mixer) and stir to dissolve. Whisk in bread flour to obtain a batterlike consistency. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and leave at room temperature until mixture looks active, about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, soak the larger seeds for the dough: Put flax, millet, sunflower and pepita seeds in a small bowl and cover with boiling water. Leave to soak for 30 minutes, then drain. Rinse with cool water and drain well, then stir soaked seeds into the sponge mixture.
• Add eggs, olive oil, spelt flour, whole-wheat flour and salt. Mix well with a wooden spoon until dough comes together in a shaggy mass. Turn out onto a lightly floured work surface and knead for 5 minutes or so, until dough forms smooth ball. (Use only enough flour to help with kneading; dough will be a bit sticky.) Alternatively, use the dough hook of a stand mixer to knead the dough for 4 to 5 minutes, until smooth.
• Transfer dough to a large zip-top plastic storage bag and refrigerate overnight for a slow, cool rise. (If you wish to skip this step, leave dough to rise in the bowl covered with plastic wrap until doubled, about 1 hour; see note.)
• Heat oven to 375 degrees. Put risen dough on a lightly floured work surface. Cut dough into 3-ounce/85-gram pieces. Form each piece into a tight ball. Place 2 inches apart on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Cover dough balls loosely with a large piece of plastic wrap and place baking sheet in a warm spot until balls have doubled, about 1 hour.
• Uncover and paint tops of balls lightly with beaten egg. Mix together caraway, cumin, sesame, nigella and anise seeds. Sprinkle seed mixture over each ball, then sprinkle with sea salt, if using.
• Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until nicely browned. Cool on a rack.
