We both watched your clip. Rolls looked most delicious.

Double Dipped

I often wonder why bakers remove the dough from the Kitchenaid and place it in yet another bowl. I leave mine in the bowl with the dough hook attached. When it's doubled I turn on the machine for just a second and then remove the dough hook for the second rise. Even Kitchenaid corporate recommends the double bowl along with every TV chef. If you remove the dough hook and place the bowl in the oven it could still go in the original bowl the bread was kneaded in.

Yum. Haven't made any rolls in quite awhile or bread for that matter and I've never tried the potato flakes so I will next time.. I usually sub in some milk for the water with white breads. Another thing I use, which I'm out of right now is lecithin instead of veg oils. I think it keeps the bread fresher just a little bit longer but then that might be all in my head LOL
Anyways, great video as always Kevin and trusty sidekick Ralph.

Got to agree with Kelly on the bowl issue.  When I make my sweet bread recipes I tun out the dough onto greased wax paper, grease the bowl and rerun the dough to the same bowl. I cover it with the greased wax paper.  I see no need or advantage to two bowls.

Those Rolls!

Look wonderful...but that red kitchen is to DIE for!! I wish you could still get the tile board!

Thanks for the videos, Kevin and Ralph! I hope sometime you can share some more of your lake cottage. Is it on Lake Huron, or Lake Erie? Seems like a very enjoyable peaceful place, that you guys love very much! Would love to know more about it.

Just made the rolls!!

Wow Kevin and Ralph, I just made these the house smells so so good.  Just happened to have some butter out too so I tired one.  Delicious!!!  This is the easiest yeast roll recipe I have ever made.  I had bread flour so I used that.  Here is a picture of the final results.   Thanks so much for this recipe.    Terry

Terry - what rolls you made!! Those look awesome! Are those sesame seeds on top? How many did you eat the first day ;-) Ralph and I ate all of them - I felt bad for about two minutes and then I got over it!

I envy your granite countertop where you can put hot pans right on it without having to always bother with racks, trivets, etc.

Rick - Lexington, Michigan is on the Lake Huron side of the state...they call it the "sunrise side." It is in the "thumb" with the closest big city being Port Huron (which is about 20 miles south). It is a beautiful part of the state, very agricultural. The big crops are sugar beets and corn. There are a number of sugar refineries in the area, and in Sept/Oct there are mountains of sugar beets and the air is filled with the earthy scent of these beets being cooked.

Along the cost of the lake are tons of little cottages and little communities that bustle in the summer months and are dormant in the winter. For us, it's less than a two hour drive to get there - so close enough to go every weekend, but far enough to feel like a world away!

Thanks Kevin! Looks lie a wonderful get a way place for you guys! Do you ever go to the cottage in the winter, just for the heck of it?

 

[kevin313]

Rick,
We go up to check on the place during the winter, but there's no heat or water in the winter, so we don't spend any time there. It makes being there in the spring, summer and fall all the more special.

Kevin, I'm sure it's like a "new toy" when spring hits again then.

My grandparents had a lake cottage at Fish Lake in Northern Indiana that they built in the 1940's It was sold when I was a small child, but I do remember it somewhat. Very simple, yet very functional without a lot of fuss.

I think this photo (taken in the late 1940's) shows my grandparents old fashioned summer cottage living, during a typical weekend meal with the family, that would usually came up to visit. My mother is turned around in her chair, wearing a striped blouse. My father is sitting on the left side, wearing a shirt with a zig-zag pattern.

Rick - thanks for sharing that great photo - they sure look like they were having fun! That's what cottages are all about - being with friends and family, appreciating the time you have with each other and celebrating life with good food!
