You can use a spatula to “fold” it.<br>7. If you feel like a little exercise, oil your hands and knead in the bowl.<br>8. The bread will "come together" after a few minutes, and feel "springy". It will be smooth, If it looks like biscuit batter- keep kneading. Once it is smooth, it means the gluten has developed.<br>9. Go ahead and knead the dough for a little while longer, you won't hurt anything.<br>10. Oil a glass or metal bowl. flop your dough into the bowl and flip over - so your dough is lightly covered in oil. Let sit 1 hour in a warm place. you may want to cover with seran-wrap to keep it moist/warm.<br><br>**** After One Hour Rising ****<br>11. Flour a surface.<br>12. Punch the dough. Yes, punch it... all the air bubbles should deflate it.<br>13. You can knead again if you want<br>14. Cut the dough into four pieces<br>15. Cut each piece into 3 pieces. This should give you 12 small balls of dough.<br>16. Oil a muffin/cupcake pan, crisco works best , place one dough ball in each cup<br>17. Place pan in a warm, draft-free place for 30-45 minutes.<br><br>**** After 30-45 minutes rising ****<br>**** Preheat oven to 425 ****<br>18. When the oven gets to 425, Bake for 15 minutes. Rolls should swell about 3-5 times the size of the dough balls. They will start to brown after about 10 minutes, check every two minutes to make sure they don't burn.<br>19. Pop them out onto a wire rack to cool, or the bottoms will get slimy.<br>20. Serve immediately with dinner, or as a snack. Careful they're HOT!<br><br>Note: Before putting in a bag, Let them cool completely (several hours at least) "stone cold". They keep for 3 or 4 days in a plastic bag. 15-20 seconds in the microwave makes for a great snack.<br>source: Mike Johnson of BigAtticHouseMichaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11310904169228043239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4319301675512991266.post-82025777674097237862010-04-06T23:52:31.277-07:002010-04-06T23:52:31.277-07:00Keep your head up.
