One Hour Dinner Rolls

I found this great recipe for 1 hour dinner rolls (prep +cooking time) and it is so wonderful that I make them every Sunday for our family dinner. It makes two 8" pans, or one 12" pan full of rolls. I haven't tried halving the recipe since we seem to either eat them all immediately, or have the few leftovers as sandwiches.

ONE HOUR DINNER ROLLS

Microwave for 90 seconds:
1 cup milk (canned or fresh)
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup butter (doesn't have to melt)

Mix together in a mixing bowl:
1-1/2 cups flour
3 Tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt
2 Tbsp yeast (yes, Tablespoons)
1 tsp lecithin (optional)
1 Tbsp wheat gluten (optional)

Add milk mixture to dry ingredients; beat 2 minutes with dough hook at medium speed (level 2 on a Kitchenaide), scraping sides of bowl.

Add 1/2 cup flour; mix at low to blend, then increase speed to high.

Add another 2 cups flour and mix at medium speed for 5 minutes. Batter should form a soft dough, cleaning the sides and bottom of bowl. If necessary, add more flour, a tablespoon at a time, only until dough cleans bowl.

Place dough in a greased bowl, turning once to coat (or spray with Pam). Cover and let rise 15 minutes. (in cold weather, put bowl in pan of warm water)

Punch dough down, and pinch of goose-egg size pieces (or Extra Large chicken eggs!) and place in greased pan/s. Let rise in warm place (or preheated 200 oven which has been turned OFF) for 15 minutes.

Bake at 425 for 10-12 minutes or until lightly brown.
