Ingredients

  • 2 cups warm water
  • 2/3 cup powdered milk
  • 2 tablespoon yeast, active dry
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/3 cups butter, unsalted softened
  • 1 large egg
  • 5-6 cups flour all-purpose or bread flour
  • 1 tablespoon oil

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, or mixer bowl combine 2 cups WARM water and the powdered milk and whisk so the milk dissolves.  Add the yeast to this mixture while water and milk is still warm. Let yeast start to bubble for a few minutes (about 3-5).
  • Add sugar, salt, butter, egg and 2 cups of the flour. Use the dough hook on your mixer and mix on low speed until ingredients are wet, then turn to medium speed and mix for 2 minutes. Stop the mixer and add 2 more cups of flour (now 4 cups total flour added so far) then mix on low speed until the ingredients are wet, then turn mixer on medium speed and mix for 2 more minutes.
  • Add approximately 1/2- 1 cup of flour and mix again. If you are using bread flour, you will likely need to add the full cup of flour. The dough should be soft, not overly sticky, and not stiff. Add more flour if necessary so it's easy enough to handle without sticking to your hands or mixer.  
  • Scrape the dough off the sides of the bowl and pour one tablespoon of canola oil all around the sides of the bowl. Turn the dough over in the bowl so it is covered with the oil. Cover with a kitchen towel or plastic wrap and allow to rise in a warm place until double in size. (about 1 hour)
  • Once the dough has risen, sprinkle a clean counter with flour and put the dough on the flour.  If your dough feels overly sticky, sprinkle flour on the dough so that it is workable and not sticky.  Roll out into a large rectangle, about 12 inches by 8 inches.
  • With a pizza cutter, cut down the middle horizontally, and then cut all the way across vertically into 2 inch strips. Cut each half horizontally again so that you have 24 'strips' of dough that are each about 2" x 4" (about the size of a dollar bill)
  • Grease a baking sheet, or cover with parchment. Roll up each slice of dough starting from one end to the other (kind of like rolling up a rug) and place seam side down on your prepared baking sheet. Cover again and let rise for about 30 minutes or until they have doubled in size.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  Remove cover and bake in preheated oven for 10-15 minutes.
