Time 1h5m

Yield 16 servings.

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
1/4 cup warm water (110° to 115°)
3/4 cup warm 2% milk (110° to 115°)
1 large egg, room temperature
1/4 cup butter, softened
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
3-1/4 to 3-3/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup seedless raspberry jam
2 tablespoons butter, melted
Confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Dissolve yeast in warm water until foamy. In another bowl, combine milk, egg, butter, sugar and salt; add yeast mixture and 3 cups flour. Beat on medium speed until smooth, about 1 minute. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough., Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour., Punch down dough. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide into 4 portions. Roll 1 portion into a 12-in. circle. Place on a greased 14-in. pizza pan. Spread with one-third of the jam to within 1/2 in. of edge. Repeat twice, layering dough and jam, and ending with final portion of dough., Place a 2-1/2-in. round cutter on top of the dough in center of circle (do not press down). With a sharp knife, make 16 evenly spaced cuts from round cutter to edge of dough, forming a starburst. Remove cutter; grasp 2 adjacent strips and rotate twice outward. Pinch ends together. Repeat with remaining strips., Cover and let rise until almost doubled, about 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 375°. Bake until golden brown, 18-22 minutes. (Watch during final 5 minutes for any dripping.) Remove from oven; brush with melted butter, avoiding areas where jam is visible. Cool completely on a wire rack. Dust with confectioners' sugar.

TWISTED BREAD



Twisted Bread image

This is a very easy bread recipe for buns. They resemble a good hamburger bun but they remain soft on the outside. If find when I make these I have people sitting around with the butter and a knife waiting on them to come out of the oven. I usually have a big pot of sloppy joe's on the stove and there's supper! These are...

Time 2h

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 pkg rapid rise yeast
DISOLVE YEAST IN 1/4 C WARM WATER WITH 1/4 TSP. SUGAR
1 c canola oil
3 c milk (1 can of evaporated milk =12 oz + 12 oz of water to equal 3 cups)
6 eggs
1 tsp salt
3/4 c sugar
8-10 c flour

Steps:

  • 1. Mix all ingredients in the order listed above in a large mixing bowl. I have a large crock bowl that I love to use.
  • 2. Once all mixed, dump out on a floured board and knead to add the remaining amounts of flour needed to obtain a non sticky dough. The dough should be kneaded until it feels springy and when you knead this dough you will hear a cracking sound. When you hear this you've worked enough air into the dough.
  • 3. Place the dough back into a greased bowl and slightly grease the top of the dough prior to covering with a light towel. Place the dough out of a draft and in a warm area but not on the stove!
  • 4. It will rise in 1 1/2 hours then make into round balls about the size of a fifty cent piece and place on a greased baking sheet. Cover with a light towel to rise slightly.
  • 5. The rolls should be slightly larger prior to placing in the oven. Your looking for a slight rise.
  • 6. Now place the baking sheet of rolls into a 375 Degree oven for 15 min. They should be a light golden brown.
  • 7. Remove from heat and brush the top of the buns with a mixture of butter and oil. I use real butter and olive oil! Wow what a taste!

Tips:

  • For a richer flavor, use a combination of butter and oil to grease the pan.
  • Dusting the work surface with flour will help prevent the dough from sticking.
  • Rolling the dough out thinly will help it cook evenly.
  • If the dough is too sticky to work with, chill it for 30 minutes before rolling it out.
  • Be careful not to overmix the dough, as this will make it tough.
  • If you are using a bread machine, follow the manufacturer's instructions for making dough.
  • Preheat the oven before baking the bread, as this will help it rise evenly.
  • Bake the bread until it is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
  • Let the bread cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
