AUTHENTIC BOLILLOS (MEXICAN BREAD ROLLS FOR TORTAS)

Steps:

• Combine the water, salt, sugar, yeast and 2 cups of the flour to your Kitchenaid mixing bowl.
• Set mixer speed to 4 and mix well. Add in the flour about a half a cup at a time, mix for a minute or so and add more flour until the dough comes together and doesn't stick to the bowl.
• The dough should form a ball on the dough hook. It may become sticky after a few minutes of kneading so keep the flour handy to add more if necessary.
• Knead for 8-10 minutes. The final dough should be firm and elastic and a little sticky to the touch.
• Form the dough into a ball and place the dough in a greased bowl.
• Cover the dough with a towel or cloth and leave in a warm place for about an hour.
• Remove dough from bowl onto a smooth counter that has a little flour on top to keep the dough from sticking to the counter.
• Divide dough into 10 equal balls. For oval shaped rolls, roll the balls between your palms for about 5 seconds to make a cylindrical shape, tapering slightly at the ends.
• Cover and let rise again for about 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees and brush each dough ball with egg whites.
• Using a bread knife, make a cut down the length of the roll about 1/4 inch deep. Bake for about 30 minutes, let cool and enjoy.
• They may also be wrapped well and frozen for later use.

BREAD ROLLS

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix milk with water. Add sugar, yeast, and butter. Stir until yeast is dissolved and set aside for 10 minutes or until yeast has foamed up a bit.
• In a large bowl, mix flour and salt. Use the lower amount of flour to start with and add more only if the dough is really too sticky.
• Add yeast mixture to flour and mix.
• Knead until smooth and elastic. (I use a hand mixer with a kneading attachment.).
• Place in greased bowl, cover tightly with plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm place for 15 minutes.
• Oil your hands and shape the dough into rolls and place in a well-greased pan. I use 2 round non-stick cake pans.
• Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rise another 15 minutes.
• Bake at 400 for about 10 minutes or until golden brown.
• Let these cool down before you remove them from the pan or they will likely tear.

GOOFY BREAD ROLLS

Steps:

• Dissolve yeast in 1/2 warm water with one tsp of the sugar and let proof.
• Warm the milk and place into mixer bowl. Melt Butter in microwave. Add butter, baking powder, eggs, remaining sugar, and butter to mixing bowl.
• Start mixer and gradually add flour. When the dough is still creamy add the yeast mixture. Continue mixing and adding flour until a nice sticky dough is achieved.
• Knead on a floured board about 15 times. Place dough in a oiled bowl turning once to coat. Let rise until double. (About 1 hour).
• Form rolls and place in a large rectangular pan. 15"x11"x2". Let rise again until almost double.
• Bake at 375 for 15 minutes or until nicely browned.
