Moon Rolls


I found these delicious rolls and am going to make them all the time, they are that great! For Keith's convenience we call them Moon Rolls, and he is eating his fourth or fifth one today. Which is always a good sign. They are super easy to make, and taste fabulous!

What You Need:

2 c. warm water, 110-115°
2 Tbsp. rapid rise yeast (aka bread machine yeast)
1/2 c. oil
1/2 c. powdered milk
1/2 c. sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp. salt
5-6 c. bread flour
Softened butter

What To Do:

Pour water in a bowl and sprinkle yeast over the top. Allow to soften about 5 minutes. Add remaining ingredients and mix well. Dough will be a little sticky, but if it's really sticky add a little more flour. Allow to rise in bowl for 45 minutes. Punch down and allow to rise for another 45 minutes. Break into two equal pieces. On a floured surface, roll out each chunk into a large circle. Spread softened butter (not melted) onto entire circle. Cut into wedges with pizza cutter. (I do 12 for smaller rolls, or 8 for larger.) Starting with wide end of triangles, roll up like a crescent roll. Place on cookie sheets with pointed end tucked underneath (so it doesn’t pop open during baking) and bake at 400° for 10-14 minutes, or until just golden on top.

When we pulled them out of the oven we told Keith they were too hot to eat. So the little genius that he is found a hot pad, and pulled a roll off the pan and ate it out of the hot pad. I wished I had my camera there. It was hilarious! Also, while making these rolls I made a huge mistake. It was so funny, I had to get a picture of it. This is what happened to my egg.

Moral, never try a new recipe while pregnant.
