EASY REFRIGERATOR YEAST ROLLS

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, heat margarine and water over low heat. When margarine has melted, remove pan from heat and stir in salt and 1/4 cup sugar.
• In a small bowl, dissolve yeast and 1/4 cup sugar in 1 cup warm water. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes.
• In a large bowl, combine yeast mixture and margarine mixture. Stir in beaten eggs and 2 cups self-rising flour. Beat in remaining flour 1 cup at a time, mixing well after each addition, until a stiff dough is formed. Divide dough into two pieces and place each piece in a well oiled freezer bag. Refrigerate for at least 24 hours.
• Remove dough from refrigerator. Pull off pieces of dough and form into 2 inch diameter balls. Place in lightly oiled baking pans so that edges of balls are just touching. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 2 hours.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Bake dough balls 15 minutes, until golden brown.

EASY YEAST ROLLS (OR MONKEY BREAD)

Steps:

• Heat the water to between 105 and 115 degrees F.
• If working with kids, explain that this temperature will wake up the yeast but not kill it.
• Dissolve the yeast in the water in a large bowl.
• Stir in the sugar, oil, salt and egg.
• Stir in 1 cup of flour until smooth.
• This is officially known as a"sponge" since it does not have all the flour of the final dough.
• Cover with a dishcloth and set in a warm place (over a bowl of warm water, in a slightly warm oven, in the microwave beside a cup of warm water, etc.).
• Let rise for 15 minutes. NOTE: If the sponge is not bubbly and increased in volume, either the yeast was bad, the water was too hot, or the water was too cold). THROW IT AWAY - it will not make palatable bread! If you are sure that the water was the correct temperature (and you did not set the bowl to rise in a hot oven (smile)) get some new yeast.
• This is useful time for cleanup and setting up for kneading.
• Grease a square 9 inch pan.
• If you want to make monkey bread, use a ring pan or a bundt pan and do not grease it.
• Stir down the sponge (ooh and aah over how much it has grown first!) and add 1 1/2 cups flour.
• Blend until well mixed.
• Turn out onto a floured surface.
• Knead 3 minutes adding flour if the dough is sticky.
• If using the square pan, divide the dough into 16 pieces (good math exercise!), and shape quickly into balls.
• If making monkey bread, divide the dough into 32 pieces (more math) and shape quickly into balls.
• For the square pan, arrange the balls in the pan and smear tops with softened margarine.
• For the monkey bread, roll each ball in melted margarine before arranging the balls in the ring or bundt pan.
• Cover the pan with the dishcloth and set back in the warm place (described above).
• Let rise for 25 minutes (depending on the timing with kids, I have been successful with as little as 20 minutes and as long as 30.) Preheat oven to 425°F (move the pan first if that is where the dough is rising, of course).
• Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until light brown.
• Remove from pan to a rack or plate to cool.
• To make them even better (and more fattening), brush the tops with melted butter.
• If you made monkey bread, eat the bread like a monkey by pulling off chunks.
• The monkey bread is also excellent if you roll each dough ball in cinnamon sugar after rolling in margarine and before placing in the pan.
• This makes a good breakfast bread.
