Best dinner rolls every.. give it a try

Ok this is just the best, I have substituted with best life butter and used half brown sugar instead of just white

and it is still good, butter is better though. lol! However just remember the dough is very loose and sticky, and yummy...hmmmm!

Ingredients

• 1 (1/4-ounce) package dry active yeast
• 1 cup warm water, about 110 degrees F
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 egg, beaten
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 cup milk, scalded but cooled to warm
• 4 ounces melted butter, plus 2 ounces
• 5 cups flour, plus more, as needed
• 6-cup, 3-inch muffin tin pan

Directions

In a standing mixing bowl with dough hook, dissolve yeast in warm water. Let sit until lightly foamy, then stir in sugar and add egg, salt, warm milk, and 4 ounces of butter. Slowly add 5 cups flour, adding more as needed to make an elastic dough. Mix well, then roll out to floured surface and knead dough for about 5 minutes.

Place dough in buttered bowl, cover with towel, and set in a warm place to rise until double in bulk, about 1 hour.

Lightly oil the muffin pan. Punch down dough and form dough into 1-inch balls. Place 3 balls in each muffin tin. (no need to make it as such, I just spoon it in the muffin tins) Fill muffin pan, cover with towel, and allow to rise an additional 1/2 hour (I don't always do this part, it still bakes beautifully).

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

Brush with remaining melted butter (again I just spray briefly with a butter spray or not at all, still so good). Bake in preheated oven for 10 to 15 minutes, until golden brown.

Big J saw this and immediately said.....

(Think deep, gravely voice... but excited... and filled with joy)

"I know a little boy who could spend hours flying in his back yard on this!"

What do you think? lol :)



Now if I can only figure out what to get for Ryan!

this is the candy windows in place





this is the front view, with the door and wreaths, and the side view.

SOOOOOOOOOOOOO PROUD of RYAN!!!

I am so happy to hear how well he is doing, it really is awesome when things click for a child and it is like the world opens up to them. But as I said Mommy and all those who love him laid the ground work for all the wonderful seeds to be sown and bloom.

I do hope you enjoy reading the Malcom Gladwell books especially Outliers, from the moment I listened to his discussion on it, it really made me think of all my nephews. I promise you will get something from his books, even if you just laugh. But I think you will gain so much more :)
