KITTENCAL'S SOFT SUB ROLLS RECIPE - (4/5)



Kittencal's Soft Sub Rolls Recipe - (4/5) image

Provided by Addie

Number Of Ingredients 9

3/4 cup warm water
1 teaspoon sugar
2 tablespoons dry yeast
1/4 cup Crisco shortening, melted
1 cup full-fat milk
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
4 tablespoons sugar
4 cups all-purpose flour (more as needed)
1 tsp malt powder (optional)

Steps:

  • 1. Prepare a heavy-duty stand mixer fitted with a kneader attachment. Place about 3-1/2 cups flour in the bowl. Melt the shortening in the microwave; add to the bowl with the flour. 2. In a measuring cup, measure out 1 cup milk, then add in 4 tablespoons sugar and the salt; heat until quite warm in the microwave, stirring to dissolve the sugar and salt. Pour the milk into the bowl with the melted shortening and flour; cover the bowl with a towel to keep ingredients warm. 3. Proof the yeast in a 3/4 cup warm water with 1 teaspoon sugar for about 8-10 minutes or until foamy. After proofing, add to the bowl and start kneading for about 3-4 minutes, then add in more flour as needed to create a soft semi-sticky dough, knead about 8 more minutes until smooth. 4. Place the dough on a very lightly floured counter or board; let rest for 5-10 minutes, covered with a clean tea towel. Grease a large bowl, then place the dough into bowl to rise in a warm place for about 50-60 minutes (because of the amount of yeast, the dough should take a shorter rising time in a warm place). Punch down dough. 5. Cut into pieces (I usually cut into 6 pieces), and shape large balls. Let dough balls rest for about 4 minutes (or just enough time to make shaping easier). Shape the dough into desired length for buns. 6. Sprinkle a large cookie/baking sheet with cornmeal, or lightly grease with cooking spray. Place the long pieces of dough on a baking sheet (shape once again if you need to). 7. Cover and let rise for about 25 minutes, or until doubled. Set oven to 375 degrees. Bake for about 22-25 minutes, or until dark golden brown. Note: If desired after the second rising and just before baking, beat one egg white with 1 teaspoon cold water, then brush on buns and sprinkle with sesame seeds. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~ REVIEWS: Great sub/sandwich roll recipe! I used our leftover bun for garlic cheese bread, and it was fabulous! The dough is so supple, and the finished product is slightly sweet - delish! There were great! I used them to make roast beef dip sandwiches and they were just perfect served fresh and hot. Easy to slice too! Thanks, Kittencal. This recipe was easy to work with and the buns tasted great. I made into 8 instead of 6. Have been wanting to make sub rolls, and this recipe was a success. Thanks so much. My son had his bologna and cheese with mayo (I know, I know but it's the only thing he will take for lunch right now) sandwich on these every day this week. I sliced and froze them after baking and made his sandwich each morning with the frozen bread. Thawed by lunch, but stayed cold and didn't get soggy. Thanks so much! For someone such as myself that is not experienced with working with yeast, I would say that this is a wonderful bun recipe, with easy to follow directions. I made this by hand, and the buns turned out so light and airy, I do believe I will keep making this recipe for a long time to come. Thanks! EXCELLENT!!!!!I don't know what else to say! These were so easy. The dough is like a dream, so soft and supple. They baked up beautifully. I put some poppy seeds on a couple, sesame on a few, and I am so happy with this recipe! Thanks, Kittencal! My DH was wanting his sandwiches on BIG buns and I have been looking for the perfect bun recipe so I tried these...WOW. I've found that recipe. They came out so soft, BIG, and chewy, with that lite and slightly crispy crust. I made 6 but let them rise an extra 1/2 hour(I think the room they rose in was a little too cold for them.). They were so light. Just the way we all like them.

KITTENCAL'S SOFT AND TENDER PULL-APART GARLIC ROLLS/BUNS



Kittencal's Soft and Tender Pull-Apart Garlic Rolls/Buns image

if you are a garlic-lover then you will love these tender soft homemade buns, I suggest for U.S. members to use 2-1/2 cups bread flour or can use half bread and all-purpose flour, for Canadian members you may use 2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour, make certain that your egg is at room temperature you may speed up the process by placing the cold egg in a small bowl of fairly warm water (not hot) for about 15 minutes --- these are at their best when eaten warm out of the oven :)

Provided by Kittencalrecipezazz

Categories     Yeast Breads

Time 2h55m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/3 cup butter, melted (can use a little more butter)
1 teaspoon garlic powder (more for sprinkling on top of buns if desired)
1/2 cup warm water
1 teaspoon sugar
1 (1/4 ounce) package dry yeast (2-1/4 teaspoons)
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (more if needed)
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder (can use 1-1/4 teaspoons)
1/2 cup warm milk (not hot, and not scalded)
2 tablespoons shortening, room temperature
1 large egg (room temperature)

Steps:

  • Spray two round 8-inch baking pans with cooking spray (preferable a dark metal pan).
  • Melt 1/3 cup butter then mix in 1 teaspoon garlic powder until well combined.
  • Drizzle enough melted butter/garlic mixture to lightly cover the bottom of the pan; set the remaining butter/garlic mixture aside to use later.
  • Attach the kneader blade to the heavy duty stand mixer.
  • In a small bowl or cup proof the yeast with 1 teaspoon sugar in 1/2 cup warm water for about 8-10 minutes or until foamy (if the yeast does not foam discard and start again).
  • In the stainless steel mixing bowl from a heavy duty stand mixer combine 2-1/2 cups flour with 1 tablespoon sugar, salt and 1 to 1-1/4 teaspoons garlic powder, warm milk, soft shortening and egg.
  • After the yeast has been proofed pour into the bowl then start mixing/kneading adding in a little more flour if needed to create a soft smooth dough (kneading time should take about 7-8 minutes).
  • Remove to a greased bowl; cover and allow the dough to rise until doubled in size (about 1 to 1-1/2 hours, rising time will vary depending on the temperature of your kitchen and also dough with added egg will take longer to rise).
  • Punch down the dough then divide into 10 even pieces then shape into balls.
  • Place 5 balls in each pan (4 around the edges and 1 in the middle).
  • Stir the reserved melted butter/garlic mixture once again before using as the garlic powder may have settled on the bottom, the lightly drizzle on top of each bun.
  • Using your hands turn the balls to coat in the butter mixture.
  • For even more garlic flavor pinch a small amount of garlic powder between your fingers then sprinkle over the top of each dough ball.
  • Cover with a light clean tea towel and allow to rise for about 30 minutes or until almost doubled in size.
  • Bake in a preheated 375 degree F oven for about 25 minutes or until golden brown.

GARLIC AND HERB PULL APART BREAD



Garlic and Herb Pull Apart Bread image

Provided by Katie Lee Biegel

Categories     appetizer

Time 6h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 tablespoons warm water
1 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast
1/2 cup plus 1 teaspoon sugar
1 large egg, lightly beaten
2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for greasing
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 cup cold water
1/4 cup boiling water
2 cups all-purpose flour, plus 1/2 cup or more as needed
4 cloves garlic, grated
1/4 cup chopped parsley
2 tablespoons chopped chives
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan
1 1/2 cups jarred marinara sauce
1/2 cup half-and-half

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, mix the warm water, yeast and 1 teaspoon of the sugar. Set aside for about 5 minutes until the mixture starts to thicken and bubble slightly. (If the mixture does not start to thicken and bubble slightly, the yeast is not working. Check the expiration date on the yeast and start over.)
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, stir together the egg, oil, salt and remaining 1/2 cup sugar until well combined. Mix in the cold water followed by the boiling water. Add the yeast mixture to the mixing bowl and stir until well blended. Add the flour and stir until it comes together into a shaggy dough, about 1 minute. Replace the paddle attachment with the dough hook and continue to knead until mostly smooth, about 3 minutes.
  • Add the garlic, 2 tablespoons of the parsley and 1 tablespoon of the chives to the dough. Continue to knead until the dough is smooth and elastic, another 3 minutes, adding in the extra 1/2 cup flour or more as needed so the dough isn't too sticky. Transfer the dough to a large, oiled bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm spot until doubled in size, about 3 hours.
  • Line an 8-inch round cake pan or baking dish with a sheet of parchment, allowing the excess paper to hang over the edges of the pan. Place a 2-to-3-inch biscuit cutter, sharp side down, in the center of the pan or dish and set aside.
  • Mix the melted butter with the remaining 2 tablespoons parsley and 1 tablespoon chives in a large bowl. Cut the dough into strips and then cut each strip into 1-inch pieces. Roll a piece into a ball and transfer it to the bowl with the butter, turning to coat completely. Transfer it to the cake pan. Repeat with the remaining dough and butter mixture, surrounding the biscuit cutter completely with the balls. Drizzle any remaining butter from the bowl over the top. Cover and let rise for 1 1/2 hours at room temperature.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Sprinkle the balls with the Parmesan. Place the pan of dough onto a baking sheet and bake until the top is golden brown and crisp, 35 to 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes.
  • While the bread is resting, in a small saucepan, heat the marinara and half-and-half until it is warm. Transfer to a bowl for dipping. Transfer the bread to a serving platter with the side sprinkled with Parmesan facing up. Remove the biscuit cutter. Serve immediately with the creamy tomato dipping sauce.

KITTENCAL'S HAMBURGER/BURGER BUNS



Kittencal's Hamburger/Burger Buns image

These are the best homemade buns for burgers they bake out soft and light and the dough is a pleasure to work with, they also make wonderful sandwich buns too, this will yield between 12-14 buns depending on how big you make them, I sometimes add in 1/2 teaspoon malt powder but it is not necessary --- Canadian residents can use all-purpose flour, U.S. residents use bread flour

Provided by Kittencalrecipezazz

Categories     Yeast Breads

Time 2h22m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup warm water
1 teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon dry yeast
3/4 cup warm whole milk
4 tablespoons sugar (for a less sweeter bun reduce to 3 tablespoons)
1/4 cup melted Crisco shortening (I use butter flavor)
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
3 1/2 cups all-purpose white flour (U.S. residents use bread flour, you may need more four start with 3-1/2 cups and add in more while m)
1 egg white
1 teaspoon water
1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Steps:

  • Proof the yeast in 1 cup warm water with 1 teaspoon sugar; let sit for 10 minutes until foamy.
  • In a heavy duty stand mixer, fitted with a kneader hook, add in the 3-1/2 cups flour, 4 tablespoons sugar, melted Crisco, warm milk and salt (and the malt powder if using).
  • Add in the proofed yeast; mix to create a soft semi-sticky dough that holds around the blade, adding in more flour as needed (do not add in too much as it will create a heavy bun, dough should be semi-sticky.
  • Knead dough for 7-8 minutes.
  • Remove dough, and let rest on the counter, covered with a clean dish towel for 10 minutes (this is an important step!).
  • Knead the dough gently for 30 seconds with hands.
  • Place dough in a large well-greased/oiled bowl.
  • Cover, and let rise in a warm spot for 60-90 minutes, or until double in size (I like to rise my dough in the oven, just set oven to 200 degrees and warm for 3 minutes, then turn off the heat while you are making the dough, this will create a perfect temperature to raise dough in, and usually takes only 1 hour to rise with oven method).
  • Punch down dough.
  • Shape into large balls, and place on a large greased cookie sheet (you should get 12 balls on the sheet).
  • Cover with a light clean tea towel, and let rise in a warm place for 30-40 minutes, or until almost doubled (warm oven rise should take 30 minutes.
  • Set oven to 375 degrees.
  • In a small bowl, mix together 1 egg white with 1 tsp water; whisk/mix well.
  • Carefully brush the tops and sides of the buns with the egg/water mixture.
  • Sprinkle with sesame seeds.

KITTENCAL'S BUTTERY PAN ROLLS



Kittencal's Buttery Pan Rolls image

I make these buns on a regular basis they have remained a family-favorite over the years --- if you choose not to brush the tops with any butter another idea is after the second rise before baking mix 1 egg white with 1 tsp cold water and carefully brush the buns with egg wash mixture then sprinkle with sesame seeds :)

Time 3h25m

Yield 12 serving(s)

1 cup milk
1/4 cup butter, cut into pieces (no subs please!)

  • When the milk mixture is warm, proof 1 tablespoon and 1 teaspoon yeast in 1/2 cup warm water with 1 teaspoon sugar; let sit for 10 minutes or until foamy.
  • Add the yeast and the warm milk/butter mixture and the egg to the bowl with the flour in it.
  • Start mixing, adding more flour only if needed to create a soft semi sticky dough that holds around the kneader blade (it might take up to 5 cups of flour).

  • Remove the dough from the mixing bowl, and let sit covered with a clean tea towel on the counter for 10 minutes.

KITTENCAL'S SOFT TENDER CRESCENT ROLLS



Kittencal's Soft Tender Crescent Rolls image

One of the best recipes for crescent rolls! ---I have made this dough using *all* butter in place of shortening and it was just *not* as good, although you could use 1/4 cup of each of shortening and butter if desired --- you could use two eggs for this recipe, but I find that the dough just takes forever to rise and using one egg is just as good :)

Provided by Kittencalrecipezazz

Categories     Breads

Time 2h10m

Yield 30 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup milk (full-fat or 2% milk is best)
1/2 cup Butter Flavor Crisco (can 1/4 cup each half butter and butter flavor shortening)
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup sugar
1 large egg
3 teaspoons yeast (for a quicker rising time use 1 tablespoon yeast, it will not effect the taste)
1/2 cup water
1 teaspoon sugar
3 cups all-purpose flour (more as needed)
melted butter

Steps:

  • Heat the milk, Crisco, sugar and salt on top of stove until fairly warm (just until the butter melts, but does not have to melt completely) remove from heat and cool until warm but not hot (if you are in a hurry, place in the fridge for about 20 minutes).
  • Warm egg slightly in warm water to bring to room temperature only.
  • When milk is still warm but not hot, place 3-1/2 cups flour in the Kitchen Aid stainless steel mixing bowl bowl with room temp egg and cooled milk/butter mixture, mix, cover with a towel to keep all ingredients warm while proofing yeast.
  • Proof yeast in water with 1 tsp sugar for 10 minutes until foamy, then add to bowl.
  • Start mixing/kneading (adding more flour until a smooth semi-sticky dough is formed (knead for about 8-10 minutes on the heavy-duty stand mixer fitted with a kneader blade.
  • Remove the dough and let stand covered with a clean dish towel for 10 minutes.
  • Gather up dough and knead gently for a couple of times, then form into a ball.
  • Place dough into a well greased bowl.
  • Cover and rise for 1 - 1-1/2 hours.
  • Punch down dough.
  • Divide dough into two or three balls, (three sections will give you smaller crescents) then roll into an even circle with a rolling pin and spread/brush liberally with melted butter (use only butter!).
  • This is a great tip, roll out the dough and just sit a small pizza pan lightly on top of your rolled dough, then run a pizza cutter all around the edges of the pizza pan, you will have an even round circle.
  • Cut into even size triangles (I use a pizza cutter for this!).
  • Roll up the dough starting at the larger end.
  • Place on a baking sheet that has been lightly brushed with melted butter.
  • Cover and rise for about 30-45 minutes or until almost doubled.
  • Bake for about 20 minutes at 375°.

KITTENCAL'S JUMBO CINNAMON BUNS/ROLLS



Kittencal's Jumbo Cinnamon Buns/Rolls image

These are large soft tender buttery rolls, the dough is rolled up from the short end creating more layers of cinnamon filling --- Canadian members use all-purpose flour, and bread flour for U.S. members --- to speed things up place the egg in a cup with very warm water for about 15 minutes to bring to room temperature --- you may of coarse use your own favorite icing for the buns --- since every dough rises at different times, the prep times is only estimated this dough is made using egg which will need slightly more rising time then dough made without --- don't be skimpy with the butter and brown sugar mixture, the more the better! :)

Provided by Kittencalrecipezazz

Categories     Yeast Breads

Time 3h25m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 cup warm water
2 teaspoons sugar
1 tablespoon dry yeast
1 cup milk
1/3 cup butter, cut into pieces
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup white sugar
1 large egg (room temperature, then slighty beaten)
4 -5 cups white flour (more if needed)
1/2 cup soft butter (can use more butter, I always do, more is better, no substitutes please!)
1 1/2 cups brown sugar, packed
3 -4 teaspoons cinnamon
1 cup raisins, can use more (optional)
1 cup chopped pecans (optional) or 1 cup walnuts, can use more (optional)
glaze, for the roll (see my Kittencal's Easy Creamy White Glaze)

Steps:

  • For the dough; fit a heavy-duty stand mixer with the dough hook.
  • Place 4 cups flour in the stainless steel bowl; set aside.
  • Proof the yeast with 2 teaspoons sugar in 1/2 cup warm water for about 8-10 minutes or until foamy.
  • Meanwhile in a microwave-safe bowl place the milk with butter cubes, salt and sugar; microwave on high until just slightly warmed (about 1 minute or a little more the butter does not have to be completely melted) stir to dissolve the sugar and salt.
  • Add the mixture to the bowl along with the egg.
  • When the yeast is foamy add to the bowl.
  • Start kneading adding in more flour as needed to create a soft smooth dough (kneading will take about 8-10 minutes).
  • Remove to a lightly floured surface, cover with a clean tea towel and allow the dough to rest for 5 minutes.
  • Shape the dough into a ball and place into a greased bowl; cover and rise for about 1-1/2 hours or until doubled (the rising time will vary depending on how warm your kitchen is).
  • Punch down the dough and allow to rest in bowl for 5 minutes.
  • In a small bowl mix together the brown sugar with cinnamon.
  • Transfer to a floured surface, roll into about 18 x 13-inch rectangle with short end facing you to make rolling up easier (I just spread out the dough using my hands, the measurments do not have to be exact).
  • Spread the softened butter over the dough (you can use more than 1/2 cup buter if desired, I usually do!).
  • Sprinkle the brown sugar/cinnamon mixture evenly over the butter, sprinkle with raisins and/or nuts if using.
  • Starting at the short end roll up the dough as tightly as possible (the dough will spread out even more while rolling).
  • Pinch the long seam together as best you can, you might also want to slice a small piece off both ends to even off the roll).
  • Using a serrated knife slice log into two even halves, then slice each half into 6 even slices (this will give you 12 pieces, although I sometimes get less).
  • Generously butter two 9-inch round cake pans (or use one 13 x 9-inch pan and place 3 rounds across, 4 rounds down in the pan).
  • In each round cake pan place 5 dough rounds around the pan and 1 dough round in the middle placing cut-side down.
  • Cover with a clean tea towel and allow to rise in a warm place until doubled (this may take about 1 to 1-1/2 hours or more depending on the temperature of your kitchen).
  • Set oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Bake until browned about 25 minutes.
  • Cool the buns slightly then drizzle the icing over the warm buns.

Tips:

  • Use fresh yeast. Old or inactive yeast will not produce a good rise.
  • Warm the milk to lukewarm (110-115°F). This will help the yeast activate and produce a good rise.
  • Dissolve the sugar in the warm milk. This will help the yeast feed and produce a good rise.
  • Add the yeast to the milk mixture and let it sit for 5-10 minutes. This will give the yeast time to activate and start producing carbon dioxide gas.
  • In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, and garlic powder. Mix well.
  • Add the yeast mixture to the flour mixture and mix until a dough forms. The dough should be soft and slightly sticky.
  • Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 5-7 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic. Be careful not to over-knead the dough, as this can make it tough.
  • Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
  • Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Shape each piece of dough into a ball and place it in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
  • Cover the rolls with plastic wrap and let them rise in a warm place for 30 minutes, or until they have doubled in size.
  • Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  • Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
  • Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.

Conclusion:

These soft and tender pull-apart garlic rolls buns are the perfect addition to any meal. They are easy to make and can be made ahead of time. The rolls are soft and fluffy on the inside and have a crispy garlic crust on the outside. They are perfect for dipping in your favorite soup or stew, or for eating on their own.
