Hey Ya'll

I love to cook. It is an expression of love for me. I hope you will enjoy the recipes I post. May the Lord bless and keep each of you!



Prov. 31:15 She rises while it is yet night and provides food for her household and portions for her maidens.

Bread Machine Dough for Hoagie Roll

 


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Psalm 130:3-4


    [3] If you, O LORD, should mark iniquities,

        O Lord, who could stand? 

    [4] But with you there is forgiveness,

        that you may be feared.



1 c water (110-115 degrees)

2 t sugar

4 t oil

1 t salt

2 3⁄4 c all-purpose flour

2 1⁄4 t instant yeast


Spray inside of bread machine with non stick 

Place ingredients in order into the bread machine

Use dough cycle (mine's 1 1/2 hours).

Before cycle is done I lay out a piece of waxed paper with flour on it

When cycle is done, "punch" dough.

Grease hands or spray with Pam as dough is very "sticky"

Remove dough from bread machine and place on floured parchment paper

Cut the dough into 6 equal pieces 

Place dough pieces evenly spaced apart on a parchment lined cookie sheet

Shape each piece of dough into an oval shape

With kitchen scissors, make a "snip" in the center of each roll, about 1 to 2 inches long and about 1/4 inch deep

Cover and let rise 20 minutes (I do this on the top of my stove as I have my oven preheated to 400 degrees already -- works well for me)

Bake at 400 degrees about 20 to 25 minutes

[17] And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together. [18] And he is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything he might be preeminent.
