Shirley J Wednesday - Honey Wheat Bread & Rolls

Honey Wheat Rolls and Bread

Okay, I know I told ya I would be showing the BBQ Chicken Salad made with Shirley J's BBQ Crockpot seasoning...but I don't have the pix with me at the moment.

So I'm going to show you some bread I made using Shirley J's new bakery mixes!

I just used the Shirley J Honey Wheat Bread Mix. I divided the batch in half and made like 16 rolls and one giant loaf of bread. Here's how I made em!

Shirley J Honey Wheat Bread

Yield: (3) 1 pound loaves or 3 dozen rolls
Ingredients:
6 cups Shirley J Honey Wheat Mix
2 1/4 cup warm water (105-110 degrees F)
2 TB Instant Dry Yeast
Directions:
1. Dissolve yeast in water
2. Add Honey Wheat Mix to water and knead until dough is smooth and elastic. If using an electric bread mixer with dough hook, mix on second speed for 10-20 minutes or to full development.
3. Cover dough with cloth and let rest for 15 minutes.
4. For bread: divide into 3 pieces, shape into loaves, place into well greased bread pans. Let rise in pans until dough is approximately 1 inch over top of pan, about 30-40 minutes. For rolls: divide into 36 pieces and place on baking sheet until dough has doubled in size.
5. Cover dough with cloth and let raise.
6. Place in preheated oven. For bread: 400 degrees F. for 20-25 minutes. For rolls: 400 degrees for 12-15 minutes.
7. Remove from oven and butter tops, if desired.
**Dough is thoroughly developed when you can pull off a small piece (size of a half dollar) and pull it to form a paper thin sheet.

Here's the recipe in pictures!
