How to Make Dinner Rolls (with Pictures)

I got a request for a step by step tutorial on how to make dinner rolls when I had posted pictures of my "piggyrolls", so here it is! :3 Hope you guys like it! :P

Like I mentioned in my previous post, this is the yeast roll recipe that I use. It is my family's favorite (from Val)!


What you will need:

  • 1/2 cup shortening
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1-1/2 cups boiling water
  • 2 tablespoons active dry yeast
  • 1/2 cup warm water (110° to 115°)
  • 3 eggs
  • 6-3/4 to 7-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted


How to make yeast rolls/dinner rolls:
1.) Combine shortening, sugar, and salt in a large bowl
2.) Stir in boiling water (1-1/2 cups)

3.) Crisco butter-flavored shortening, sugar, and salt SOUP! :P
Make sure to cool this mixture ("soup") down to 110°F to 115°F
4.) Take 2 tablespoons of yeast,
5.) and 1/2 cup of warm water (110°F - 115°F)
6.) Dissolve yeast into warm water.
7.) Take yeast mixture,
8.) 3 eggs,
9.) and 3 cups of flour



10.) and add it to the Shortening mixture (#3)
11). Beat (mix) until smooth.

12.) Stir in enough remaining flour,
13.) to form a soft dough.

 14.) Turn onto floured surface and kneed until smooth and elastic for about 6-8 minutes.
15.) Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top.

16.) Cover and let dry in warm place (I wet the towel with hot water),
17.) Dough should double in size in 45 minutes.

18.) *O*
19.) Punch dough down, turn onto lightly floured surface.


20.) Roll dough to 1/2" (inch) thickness.
21.) Cut (I'm using a pizza cutter :P) into equal sizes. For plain dinner rolls, you can fold circles in half and press edges to seal.

22.) Coat baking sheets/tray with cooking spray.
23.) Place your dough (bears) 2 inches apart.

24.) Cover and let rise until doubled (30 minutes).
25.) Bake at 400°F for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
26.) Brush with butter (I just rubbed a butter stick on them :P)
27.) Delicious!

"YOU'RE SO CUTE, I COULD EAT YOU UP!"


These freeze very well after baking so I usually like to make a big batch and fill the freezer up with a whole bunch of these cute dinner rolls. Just pull them out of the freezer to thaw whenever you are ready to eat some!!! :3

Since Halloween is coming up, maybe you can try making them into spookier shapes. :P

Piggyroll (Dinner Roll Recipe)

I decided to make some dinner rolls tonight because I haven't made them in a while. :p
What do you mean that doesn't look like a dinner roll? :P
HAHAHHAHAHAHHAAH!

Okay okay. I made one that's supposed to look like a piggy. :p

Say hello to Mr. Piggy Roll!
I did make regular-looking ones though (just in case you were wondering).
Here... Proof!
 Mr. Piggy Roll is just an experiment. I just wanted to know how much of the detail will be left after baking him.
I remember seeing a bear-shaped bread at Boudin and it looked soooo adorable! :P

So I stuffed Mr. Piggy Roll on to the baking sheet...
He was feeling a bit shy and distant from the other rolls.
Mr. Piggy was baked for 12 minutes...
All nice and buttered up!
HAHAHHAHAHA! I was so surprised to see that most of the details were still there. :P

I think I might shape ALL of my dinner rolls this way from now on! :P

I used this dinner roll recipe just in case you wanted to make your own. Try it! Its one of the best recipes I've tried.
So deliciously fluffy and flavorful.
 (Sorry about the picture quality... I used my phone since it was the closest thing to me while I was baking :P)

Cure to Monday Blues

Mondays don't always have to suck! :P
Treat yourself to something nice.... like a milk shake! :P
Mmmmm, fresh strawberries. :P
A very generous serving of ice-cream (vanilla bean flavored). -__- Don't look at me like that! This was for two people okay! :p
Add a bit of milk (and sugar if you like) and blend! (≧◡≦) So easy!!!
And there you have it! The strawberry milkshake that will beat the Monday blues! :p

Christmas Cake Pops

Usually, when I spend Christmas with my bf and his family, its tradition to always make and eat a whole bunch of tamales :P On the news tonight, I heard that more than 50,000 tamales were being sold during the holiday season. O_o
This Christmas, I'm spending it with my family and family friends :) And they celebrate it differently.
I notice a lot of people baking. O_o
I don't know very many Christmas cookie recipes O_o But I was inspired by Bakerella's reindeer, snowman, and Christmas tree cake pops so I thought it would be a good idea to make some to share. :P
If you like to bake, you should check her site out. :) I think she's pretty good!
Her Christmas cake pops: (Click here).

I used:

1. Cake mix

2. Candy Melt

3. Assorted Sprinkles
Wilton Animals and Stars 6 Mix Sprinkle Assortment


4. Chocolate Coated Sunflower seeds (orange ones for snowman carrot nose)
 Rainbow Colored Chocolate Coated Sunflower Crunchies 2 lbs.

5. Black Colored Decorating Icing (for details like the pupils of the reindeer)
Wilton Black Icing Tube

6. Lollipop Sticks
Wilton 6 Inch Lollipop Sticks



7. m&m's (red color for reindeer noses):
 

How I made them:

I followed Bakerella's tutorial on how to prepare :)
So I baked the cake, made it into crumbs, then added enough icing to make the cake crumbs easier to shape.

Snowman:

Vanilla Cake rolled into ball-shapes (two sizes; one for the head and the other for the body)
Place two on a lollipop stick.
Ready to be dunked into the White Colored Candy Melt!
I placed my candy melt bowl in a bowl of hot water because it was cold and the candy melt was turning solid too fast.
All covered in yummyness! :P
Stick it in a piece of Styrofoam or cardboard to let it dry. :)
I used a chocolate coated sunflower seed for his nose and chocolate candy melt for his eyes and mouth.
Hi! (We were planning to add more decorations but we got tired. :P)
Christmas Trees:
Vanilla flavored cake shaped in upside-down cones. :)
MmmmMMmmmm... Green candy melt.
Decorate with sprinkles! :P These were the last things we made. :P Can you tell? ahha :P looks a bit sloppy. :P


Reindeer:

Reindeer are made out of chocolate cake... -___-; I am fully aware that this picture does not look too aesthetically pleasing. :P But I promise you the outcome will be much much cuter! :3
Stick one of these ugly things onto the lollipop stick as well. :P
Dunk it in Chocolate Candy Melt... hm.. still looks ugly... >< Even my mom was having doubts about the outcome. :P
Mom helped me make some 'antlers' :P
Cutting pretzels in half looked pretty hard but I thought mom did a great job. :P
Aww... its starting to look cute now. :P I was so happy my sister helped me make these reindeer. :P She's so good! The nose is a red m&m, by the way.
LOOK OUT!!! HE'S POSESSED!!!
Aww... that's better. :) But why is he crossed-eyed?????
Because a snowflake fell on his nose!!! :P
Oh... this one has one on his forehead! O_O
BEHOLD!!!! An army of silly reindeer!!! :P
All packaged, ready to be delivered! :)

HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYBODY!!! :)
I hope you have a great one! :3
