SCHOOL CAFETERIA YEAST ROLLS

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine yeast and 3/4 cup of water. Set aside.
• In the bowl of an electric stand mixer, combine flour, sugar, salt, and dry milk powder.
• Add vegetable oil and 1¼ cup water. Mix on low for 3 minutes.
• Add yeast mixture and knead on medium speed for 8 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic.
• Loosely cover the bowl and let the dough rise in a warm spot until double in size, about 45 minutes.
• Punch dough down. Lightly spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Divide the dough into 24 balls and place in the prepared baking dish. Loosely cover the dish and let the dough rise in a warm spot until double in size, about 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 400ºF. Bake rolls for 18 to 20 minutes.

SCHOOL LUNCHROOM CAFETERIA ROLLS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix together the warm water and 1 tablespoon sugar. Sprinkle the yeast over the top, and let it stand for about 10 minutes, until the yeast is foamy.
• Mix the milk, eggs and salt into the yeast. Measure the flour into a separate bowl, add 2/3 cup sugar, and crumble the shortening into it using your fingers until it is barely noticeable. Gradually stir the flour into the wet ingredients. Mix using a wooden spoon until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl and starts to form a ball around the spoon. Cover with a hot wet towel that has been wrung out, and set in a warm place to rise until double in bulk. This should take about 45 minutes.
• When the dough has risen, pour the melted butter over it, and knead for about 2 minutes. Let the dough rest for a few minutes, then roll out on a lightly floured surface to 1 inch thick. Use a knife to cut into 2 inch squares. Roll squares into balls, and place into greased round pans, spacing about 1 inch apart. Let rise again until doubled in size. You could also refrigerate the dough, and let it rise overnight for baking the next day.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Bake the rolls for about 12 minutes, until golden brown.
