Just Ducky Dinner Rolls Recipes

DOUBLE QUICK DINNER ROLLS

Steps:

• 1. Pour packet of yeast into a large mixing bowl. Add 1 Tbsp. Sugar and the 1 cup of warm water. Stir and let sit. It will bubble and rise. By the time you do the other steps it will be ready.
• 2. In another bowl mix together: Flour, salt and sugar. Mix it around a little and set it aside.
• 3. Put the 1 egg and 2 Tbsps. of oil into a glass measuring cup and beat together. Set aside
• 4. Now, pour only 1/2 of the dry ingredients INTO the bowl with the yeast. Stir and scrape down the sides with a wooden spoon. When it is all mixed well, make a little well and then add the egg and oil, stir and then add the rest on the dry ingredients. Again, stir and scrape down the sides of the bowl making it into a ball of dough. It will be wet and sticky. DO NOT add more flour. Cover and place in a WARM but not hot place. Let it rise to double in size...about 20/30 minutes depending on how warm your kitchen is.
• 5. After it has doubled in size, punch down and pour it out onto a lightly floured cutting board. With your hands, NOT a rolling pin, pat the dough to about 1 to 1 & 1/2 inch thick. Use a biscute cutter to cut out 12 circles.
• 6. I pour about 1 TBSP of oil on the bottom of a 11x9x2" metal baking pan. "Drag" the bottom of the cut roll in the pan making sure it gets "oiled." Do this with each of the cut dough circles. The closer they are together in the pan the higher they will rise. Cover and let rise to double in size. About 15 to 20 minutes. You will be able to tell.
• 7. After they have risen, place in a preheated oven at 375* for 20 minutes. After you remove them from the oven, butter the tops and let it melt down the sides. Serve hot and watch your family enjoy!
• 8. Rising Tip: If your kitchen is cool, fill a large bowl with HOT water and set the baking pan on top of it covered with a clean, lite tea towel. Also, do not use "metal" mixing bowls to let the dough rise, they get too warm and the dough may start to "cook" and stick to the bottom of the bowl. Not good..

Steps:

• 1. Slightly flatten 12 of the rolls and form them into a teardrop shape. Place on a prepared baking sheet. (I use parchment.)
• 2. Pinch the pointed ends to make tails. Press your finger deeply into the rounded end of each teardrop to make a deep hole.
• 3. Cut remaining 4 rolls into thirds. Shape each into a ball with a pointed end. Dip pointed end into water and insert it into the deep hole that you made with your finger in the body section for the head.
• 4. Brush well with beaten egg. Cover with sprayed saran wrap and allow to rise for 30 minutes. Remove wrap and pinch tails again.
• 5. Bake at 350 degrees 15-20 minutes. Cool a bit. Then, with a small sharp knife, make 1-2 small slits and insert almonds for the duck bill.
