90 minute dinner rolls

This recipe was found in a magazine many years ago. This was a great recipe to impress my new husband when I was first married. Easy recipe and takes only 90 minutes from start to finish. Makes 1 dozen rolls. I usually doubled the recipe and then put the extra in the freezer to use at a later time.









2 to 2 1/2 cups flour
2 T. sugar
1/2 t. salt
1 pkg active dry yeast
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup water
2 T. margarine or butter

Mix 3/4 cup flour, sugar, salt, and undissolved yeast in a bowl. Heat milk, water and margarine to 120 - 130 degrees. Gradually add to dry ingredients and beat 2 minutes at medium speed of mixer. Add 1/4 cup flour. Beat at high speed 2 minutes. Stir enough additional flour to make soft dough. On floured board knead 2 - 3 minutes. Divide dough into 12 equal pieces. Shape into balls. Place in greased 8 inch round pan.

Pour a 1 inch depth of boiling water into large pan on bottom rack of cold oven. Set rolls on rack above water. Cover, close oven door and let rise 30 minutes. Uncover rolls; remove pan of water. Turn oven to 375 degrees. Bake 20-25 minutes or until done. Remove from pan to cool. Serve warm.
