Dinner Rolls
by Tony van Roon
In 90 minutes
2-1/2 cups unsifted flour
2 Tbsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1 pkg active dry yeast
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup water
2 Tbsp margarine
Mix 1/4 cup of the flour, sugar, salt, and undissolved yeast.
Heat milk, water and margarine to 120-130°F. (I use my temp. probe of my microwave for this. Works great!)
Gradually add milk mixture to dry mixture and beat 2 min. at medium speed of mixer. Add ¼ cup flour. Beat at high
speed 2 minutes. Stir in enough additional flour to make soft dough.
On floured board knead 2 to 3 minutes. Divide dough into 8-12 equal pieces. Shape into balls. Place in an 8-inch round
pan.
Pour a 1-inch depth of boiling water into large pan on bottom rack of cold oven. Set rolls on rack above water. Cover.
Close oven door, let rise for 30 minutes.
Remove the cover! Remove pan of water!
Turn oven on to 375°F. Bake 20-25 minutes or til rolls are light golden in color. Remove from pan to cool. Serve warm.
