BUTTERHORN BREAD MACHINE ROLLS

Steps:

• Place all ingredients except melted butter in pan.
• Select Dough Only setting and press start.
• When dough has risen long enough, the machine will beep.
• Remove dough from pan.
• Divide dough into 3 equal balls.
• Roll out each ball, one at a time, into a 9 inch circle (don't worry if you can't get it exactly 9 inch).
• (Note: I always start rolling my dough and let it rest for awhile and resume rolling. The resting helps relax the dough).
• With pizza cutter (works great!)or sharp knife, divide each circle into 8 wedges, as if cutting a pizza.
• Starting at the wide end, roll up each wedge toward the point.
• Cover and place in a warm oven (turn oven onto warm setting for 2 minutes and turn off, to make a good environment for dough).
• Let rise for 30 to 40 minutes until doubled.
• Remove sheet from oven to preheat oven!
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden.
• Remove from oven.
• Brush rolls lightly with melted butter.

CRUSTY HARD ROLLS

Steps:

• The Starter:
• Mix the starter ingredients together until smooth, cover, and let rest at room temperature overnight.
• Combine all of the dough ingredients and mix and knead them together -- by hand, mixer or bread machine, until you've made a soft, somewhat smooth dough; it should be cohesive, but the surface should still be a bit rough. Allow the dough to rise, covered, for 3 hours, gently deflating it and turning it over after 1 hour, and again after 2 hours.
• Turn the dough out onto a lightly greased or floured work surface. Divide it into 12 pieces, shape the pieces into balls, and firm them up by rolling them under your lightly cupped fingers on an unfloured work surface. Place the rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet, cover them, and let them rise for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, until they've doubled in size. Refrigerate them for several hours, or overnight.
• Remove the rolls from the refrigerator, and brush them with a wash made of 1/2 cup water mixed with 1 tablespoon egg white (you won't use up all the wash). Slash a 1/4-inch deep cut across the top of each roll, and bake them in a preheated 425°F (220°C) oven for 20 to 25 minutes, until they're a deep golden brown. Remove them from the oven, and cool on a wire rack. For an extra-crisp crust, allow them to cool in the turned-off, door-propped-open oven.
• Yield: 12 rolls.

ORANGE ROLLS (FOR BREAD MACHINE)

• Select DOUGH cycle and press Start.
• In separate bowl combine cinnamon and sugar for filling.
• After dough has finished, turn it out onto lightly floured surface and roll into a 16x24 rectangle.
• Spread dough with butter and sprinkle evenly with cinnamon and sugar mixture.
• Roll up dough and cut into 12 rolls.
• Place rolls in lightly greased 9x13 pan.
• Cover and let rise until almost doubled (about 30 min).
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Bake rolls for 14-16 minutes (do not overbake!).
• While rolls are baking, mix together frosting ingredients.
• Spread on rolls when they are still warm. (I heat the frosting up in the microwave a little so I can pour it on the rolls instead).
