Recipe Introduction


This recipe makes a soft, sweet, buttery white roll, delicious warm
out of the oven, or frozen and reheated. A perfect accompaniment
to coffee or tea.


List of Ingredients




for the dough:
2 1/2 teaspoons instant yeast
7 tablespoons (3 1/2 ounces) unsalted butter, melted and cooled somewhat
7/8 cup (7 ounces) lukewarm milk
1 egg
2 tablespoons (3/4 ounce) sugar
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baker’s ammonia (optional, for an extra touch of lightness)
2 tablespoons dough relaxer (optional, for ease in rolling)
2 3/4 cups (11 3/4 ounces) unbleached all-purpose flour

for the topping:
2 tablespoons butter, melted
powdered confectioners sugar

Recipe



Combine all of the dough ingredients in a medium mixing bowl,
or in the bucket of a bread machine, and mix and knead until
you’ve made a somewhat smooth dough. This should take about
7 to 10 minutes.
(If you’re using a bread machine, let the dough knead for 10 to
12 minutes, until it’s just smooth, then cancel the machine).
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl.
Set it aside to rise, covered, for 30 minutes. It’ll become quite puffy.

Divide the dough into 20 ping pong ball size balls. Gently roll each
ball into a 12 to 14 inch rope. Curl the ropes into heart shapes.
(Try shaping them first like a rounded capital “M,” then bringing the
legs of the M together at the bottom.)
Place the shaped rolls on a lightly greased or parchment paper lined
baking sheets.
Cover and let rise for 30 minutes; they’ll become somewhat puffy.

Bake the rolls in a preheated 450F oven for about 9 minutes, or
until golden brown. Brush with the melted butter, and sprinkle with
the confectioners sugar (or cinnamon-sugar, if you prefer).
Serve warm. Makes 20 rolls.

Freeze + Reheat:
Remove the rolls from the oven. Do not brush them with melted butter.
Allow to cool completely, then wrap in an airtight package and freeze.
(The longer they remain frozen the more their quality will deteriorate.
It is not recommended to freeze for over 2 weeks.)
When ready to use, remove from the freezer. Place close together on a
baking sheet. Tent with aluminum foil, and bake in a preheated 350F
oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until soft. Brush with butter and sprinkle
with sugar as directed above.
