KITTENCAL'S SOFT TENDER CRESCENT ROLLS

Steps:

• Heat the milk, Crisco, sugar and salt on top of stove until fairly warm (just until the butter melts, but does not have to melt completely) remove from heat and cool until warm but not hot (if you are in a hurry, place in the fridge for about 20 minutes).
• Warm egg slightly in warm water to bring to room temperature only.
• When milk is still warm but not hot, place 3-1/2 cups flour in the Kitchen Aid stainless steel mixing bowl bowl with room temp egg and cooled milk/butter mixture, mix, cover with a towel to keep all ingredients warm while proofing yeast.
• Proof yeast in water with 1 tsp sugar for 10 minutes until foamy, then add to bowl.
• Start mixing/kneading (adding more flour until a smooth semi-sticky dough is formed (knead for about 8-10 minutes on the heavy-duty stand mixer fitted with a kneader blade.
• Remove the dough and let stand covered with a clean dish towel for 10 minutes.
• Gather up dough and knead gently for a couple of times, then form into a ball.
• Place dough into a well greased bowl.
• Cover and rise for 1 - 1-1/2 hours.
• Punch down dough.
• Divide dough into two or three balls, (three sections will give you smaller crescents) then roll into an even circle with a rolling pin and spread/brush liberally with melted butter (use only butter!).
• This is a great tip, roll out the dough and just sit a small pizza pan lightly on top of your rolled dough, then run a pizza cutter all around the edges of the pizza pan, you will have an even round circle.
• Cut into even size triangles (I use a pizza cutter for this!).
• Roll up the dough starting at the larger end.
• Place on a baking sheet that has been lightly brushed with melted butter.
• Cover and rise for about 30-45 minutes or until almost doubled.
• Bake for about 20 minutes at 375°.

KITTENCAL'S SOFT AND TENDER PULL-APART GARLIC ROLLS/BUNS

Steps:

• Spray two round 8-inch baking pans with cooking spray (preferable a dark metal pan).

• Drizzle enough melted butter/garlic mixture to lightly cover the bottom of the pan; set the remaining butter/garlic mixture aside to use later.
• Attach the kneader blade to the heavy duty stand mixer.
• In a small bowl or cup proof the yeast with 1 teaspoon sugar in 1/2 cup warm water for about 8-10 minutes or until foamy (if the yeast does not foam discard and start again).
• In the stainless steel mixing bowl from a heavy duty stand mixer combine 2-1/2 cups flour with 1 tablespoon sugar, salt and 1 to 1-1/4 teaspoons garlic powder, warm milk, soft shortening and egg.
• After the yeast has been proofed pour into the bowl then start mixing/kneading adding in a little more flour if needed to create a soft smooth dough (kneading time should take about 7-8 minutes).
• Remove to a greased bowl; cover and allow the dough to rise until doubled in size (about 1 to 1-1/2 hours, rising time will vary depending on the temperature of your kitchen and also dough with added egg will take longer to rise).
• Punch down the dough then divide into 10 even pieces then shape into balls.
• Place 5 balls in each pan (4 around the edges and 1 in the middle).
• Stir the reserved melted butter/garlic mixture once again before using as the garlic powder may have settled on the bottom, the lightly drizzle on top of each bun.
• Using your hands turn the balls to coat in the butter mixture.

• Cover with a light clean tea towel and allow to rise for about 30 minutes or until almost doubled in size.
• Bake in a preheated 375 degree F oven for about 25 minutes or until golden brown.
