    Recipe Introduction


    favorite dish of all time :

    List of Ingredients




    2 packages active dry yeast

    abt 4 1/2 cup sifted all-purpose flour

    1 cup milk

    1/2 cup shortening

    1/2 cup sugar

    1 tsp. salt

    2 eggs

    3 tbls. butter or margarine, melted

    3/4 cup sugar

    1 tsp. ground cinnamon

    Recipe



    In a large mixer, combine yeast and 2 cups flour. Heat milk and shortening,1/2 cup sugar and salt
    just until warm, stirring constantly to melt shortening. Add to dry mixture in mixing bowl.

    Add eggs.

    Beat at low speed with electric mixer for 1/2 minute, scraping the sides of the bowl constantly.

    Beat at 3 mins at high speed.

    By hand, stir in enough of the remaining flour to make the dough soft.

    Knead on lightly floured surface 8-10 mins.

    Place in greased bowl, turning once to grease surface.

    Cover and let rise until double ( 1-1/2 hrs.)

    Punch down.

    Cover and let rise for 10 minutes.

    Shape into 28 ball, golf-bowl size.

    Roll each bowl in melted butter, then in mixture of 3/4 cup sugar and cinnamon.

    Arrange in well-greased 10" tube pan.

    Sprinkle with any reamining sugar mixture.

    Let rise in warm place until doble in size (about 1 hr.)

    Bake in 350deg. oven for 35-40 mins.

    Cool in pan 15-20 mins.

    Invert on rack and remove from pan.


    Note: I think the flour is 4 1/2 cups. I add the 2 cups first and then when I am kneading it I add flour until it feels right.

    Don't want to have too much flour.

    I e-mailed Cindy Kelly who has the original recipe I e-mailed her some years ago to check and see if it is 4 cups.

    I know it has to be at least 3 because I can find 2 1/2 in the recipe description. After you add the 2 1/2, then the rest is added while you are mixing the batter until it reaches the right consistency.

    Another bread tip is the two finger tip. If you press two fingers in the top of risen dough that and it remains indented, then it is ready to knead. Sort of like the toothpick test with cakes where the cake sticks to the toothpick if you put it in the center of the pan to see if it is done when cooking.

    Also, I inverted it over the top of an old glass coke bottle (remember those), but you want to let it cool before inverting it. If you invert it too soon, all the little yeast balls will fall out and well, it is not pretty. LOL

    Patience is a virtue.
