Belles Hamburger Buns

1 Cup Milk

1 Cup Water

2 TBLS Butter

1 TBLS White Sugar

1 1/2 tsp Salt

5 1/2 Cups All-purpose Flour 

1 (.25oz) Envelope Active Dry Yeast

1 Egg Yolk

1 TBLS Water

Directions

1.  Combine the milk, 1 cup of water, butter, sugar and salt in a saucepan. Bring to a boil then remove from the heat and let stand until lukewarm. If the mixture is too hot, it will kill the yeast.

 2.   In a large bowl, stir together the flour and yeast. Pour in wet ingredients and stir until the dough starts to pull together. If you have a stand mixer, use the dough hook to mix for about 8 minutes. If not, knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes. Place the dough in a greased bowl, turning to coat. Cover and let stand until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

3.  Punch down the dough and divide into 12 portions They should be a little larger than a golf ball. Make tight balls out of the dough by pulling the dough tightly around and pinching it at the bottom. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil. After the rolls sit for a minute and relax, flatten each ball with the palm of your hand until it is 3 to 4 inches wide. You may want to oil your hand first. Set rolls aside until they double in size, about 20 minutes.

4. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Mix together the egg yolk and 1 tablespoon of water in a cup or small bowl. Brush onto the tops of the rolls. Position 2 oven racks so they are not too close to the top or bottom of the oven.

5.Bake for 10 minutes in the preheated oven. Remove the rolls from the oven and return them to different shelves so each one spends a little time on the top. Continue to bake for another 5 to 10 minutes, or until nicely browned on the top and bottom.

I got the recipe from allrecipes.com.

If you have any questions. Please feel free to ask. If you make them. I would love to hear what you think.

Happy Cooking! 

 

 

Braided Spaghetti Bread

On June 12 we tired this. 

Braided Spaghetti Bread

It was so yummy and heck

when my girls want seconds. 

I know I hit it on the nose. 

Can't wait to make this again.

You will need:

• 1 Loaf Rhodes Bread Dough or 12 Rhodes Dinner Rolls, thawed to room temperature
• 6 oz spaghetti, cooked
• 1 cup thick spaghetti sauce
• 8 oz mozzarella cheese, cut into 1/2 –inch cubes
• 1 egg white
• Parmesan cheese
• Parsley flakes

Here is is with the bread dough, spaghetti noddles and sauce on top.

Add the cheese on top.

I cut about 1 1/2" apart on long sides of dough to about 1/2" of filling.

Then I folded the sides on like a braid.

Added on the rest and place in oven. 

This is what mine looked like when it was all done. 

Let me tell you it was so yummy. My hubby even enjoyed the left overs the 

next night at work. 

Again here is the link to this amazing recipe: Braided Spaghetti Bread

Enjoy!!!!!!
