Ingredients
1 1/2 cups Warm water (110°)
2 tbsp Instant yeast
1/3 cup Granulated sugar or honey
4 – 5 cups Bread flour
1 Large egg, room temp
4 tbsp Butter, melted
2 tsp Salt
1/4 cup Dry milk powder
Directions
- In a mixing bowl, pour in water, sprinkle yeast and a quarter of the sugar over the water. Stir slightly and set aside 10 minutes.
- To the yeast mixture, add 4 cups bread flour and the res to the ingredients, mix well adding more flour 1/4 cup at a time until you get “shaggy” dough . Knead for 7 minutes.
- Place dough ball into oiled bowl, making sure to coat the entire dough. Put a damp cloth over top and set in warm place to rise. (I use my oven with the light on) Let rise 30 – 45 minutes.
- Grease a 9 x 13 baking pan and heat oven to 375°.
- Turn dough out on to counter and cut into 20 – 24 pieces. Stretch dough out and pull in sides forming a ball. Roll on counter dragging bottom slightly, with your pinky finger, to form “feet”. Place in greased pan. Cover and let rise 30 minutes.
- Bake @ 375° 12 – 15 minutes, until tops are golden brown.
- Butter tops slightly after they are baked. Let cool a few minutes. Pull apart with a fork.
