Best 4 Bread Machine Sweet Dough Recipes

BREAD MACHINE SWEET DOUGH/ROLLS

Steps:

• Place the water, milk, egg, butter, sugar, salt, flour and yeast into the bread machine pan in order stated (starting with water and ending with the yeast).
• Select dough cycle, then press start.
• Since all bread machines are different the water or flour amounts will need to be adjusted slightly to your bread machine to create a soft smooth semi-sticky dough, so make certain to check after about 5 minutes of kneading time and adjust water or flour amounts.
• When the dough cycle has finished (including the rising time) remove and place dough on a lightly floured work surface.
• Divide into sections; let the sections rest for 5 minutes (important, the dough MUST rest for 5 minutes) then shape as desired.
• Place the shaped dough onto a greased baking sheet; cover with a light clean towel.
• Let rise in a warm place for about 1-1/2 hours or until doubled in size (due to the addition of an egg rising time will be longer).
• Bake in a 375°F oven for about 20-25 minutes or until until browned.

SIMPLE, MULTI-PURPOSE, BREAD MACHINE SWEET BREAD

Steps:

• * ALL ingredients must be at or slightly above room temperature*.
• Break the egg into a glass measuring cup, then add enough room temperature water to total 1 1/2 cups.
• Put egg mixture and other ingredients into the bread machine in the order listed, forming a shallow well in the center for the yeast. (egg/water mixture, margarine, sugar, salt, flour, yeast).
• Program your machine to Dough Cycle.
• *I DO NOT recommend baking this in your machine - the large amount of yeast will cause your pan to overflow and make a mess of your machine.
• Check it periodically during the first kneading/mixing; scrape the sides of your pan with a rubber spatula if needed. It should form a neat ball of dough in the pan. If the dough seems too dry, add a few table spoons water. If it seems too wet/sticky, add a few table spoons flour.
• Lift the lid on the machine about 20-30 minutes before the cycle completes so the rising dough will not stick to it.
• When the dough cycle is complete:.
• Clover Leaf Rolls (makes 16): Divide dough into 48 small round balls. In oiled muffin pans, place 3 balls in each cup in a clover pattern. Brush the tops with warm milk or butter. Cover and allow 30 minutes to rise. Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes. Allow rolls to cool 20 min, turn out into bread basket and serve warm.
• Cinnamon Rolls: Roll dough into rough rectangle 1/4 inch thick. Sprinkle with Cinnamon, Sugar, Walnuts, Raisins, or Pumpkin Pie Filling (or whatever else your heart desires). Roll up jelly-roll style. Cut into 1/2 inch slices ( dough can be refrigerated to make it easier to slice). Arrange on oiled cookie sheets. Brush with warm milk or melted butter. Allow 30 minutes to rise (will take longer if dough was refrigerated). Bake at 350 for 20-25 minute Allow rolls to cool 20 min, remove from pans with a spatula onto a clean serving dish and serve warm.
• Sandwich Bread: Divide dough into two oiled 1 lb loaf pans. Brush with warm milk or melted butter. Allow 30 minutes to rise. Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes. Allow loaves to cool 20 minutes, turn out onto cooling racks, and then cool completely before slicing.
• Dinner Loaf: Form a rough loaf on an oiled cookie sheet. Brush with warm milk or melted butter. Allow 30 minutes to rise. Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes. Allow loaf to cool 30 minutes, remove to a cutting board, then slice and enjoy at the dinner table. Serve with your favorite spread.
• I have also made hot dog and hamburger buns from this recipe - but you get the idea. ENJOY!

MASTER SWEET DOUGH

Steps:

• Heat milk in a small saucepan over medium heat or in a microwave until an instant-read thermometer registers 110°F-115°F. Transfer milk to a 2-cup measuring cup; stir in 1 tablespoon sugar. Sprinkle yeast over milk and whisk to blend. Let sit until yeast is foamy, about 5 minutes. Add eggs; whisk until smooth.
• Combine remaining 4 tablespoons sugar, flour, and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook. Add milk mixture. With mixer running, add 1/2 cup room-temperature butter, 1 piece at a time, blending well between additions. Mix on medium speed for 1 minute. Knead on medium-high speed until dough is soft and silky, about 5 minutes.
• Brush a medium bowl with some melted butter; place dough in bowl. Brush top of dough with remaining melted butter; cover with plastic wrap. (If making Sticky Buns , chill dough for 2 hours, then proceed with recipe.) DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover with plastic; chill.
• Let dough rise in a warm, draft-free area until doubled in size, 1-1 1/2 hours (or 2-2 1/2 hours if dough has been refrigerated).
