Becky's Grandma's Roles

Becky's Grandma's Roles
2 cups of warm milk
1 T. of dry active yeast
1/2 C. of sugar (or use 1/2 C. of honey)
1/2 C. oil (or use 1/2 C. of applesauce, that is my favorite)
4 C. of flour ( you can substitute 2 of the cups with 2 C. of wheat flour)

1/2 C. flour
1/2 T. salt
3/4 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. baking soda
4 T of melted butter (optional and you might need more or less butter)

Combine warm milk and yeast and let them set for about 8-10 mins. Then combine milk mixture and sugar ( or honey) and oil (or applesauce) in a large bowl. Add flour (1 cup at a time), if using wheat, add it first, it mixes better that way). Let rise for 10-15 (that's really all it takes).

After it is done, add the extra 1/2 C. of flour and salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Then role out on a floured surface (about a 1/2 inch think) not too thin. You can use a biscuit cutter (I use the top of a mug) and cut out your roles. Then dip 1 half of circle in the melted butter and fold it in half and place it on the baking sheet, butter side down. They cook best if they are placed side by side in rows. Set on an ungreased cookie sheet. Before you put them in, you can let rise for as long as you would like for fluffier roles.

Bake in a pre-heated oven on 425 for 10-15 minutes.

Makes 30+ roles Takes 30 - 60 minutes total, depending on how well you know the recipe and if you dip them in butter.
