- Ready In:
- 4hrs 15mins
- Ingredients:
- 8
- Yields:
-
36 Dinner Rolls
- Serves:
- 18
ingredients
- 12 ounces evaporated milk
- 1 cup half-and-half
- 2 teaspoons dry yeast
- 1⁄2 cup sugar
- 2 eggs, room temperature
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 cup butter
- 7 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
directions
- In a large bowl, combine the yeast, evaporated milk, and half and half and let stand 5-10 minutes. (Make sure yeast is starting to bubble so you know it is still alive.).
- Add the sugar, butter, salt, 2 cups of flour, and 2 eggs.
- Beat together until very smooth.
- Add remaining flour gradually (1/2 cup at a time) until a soft but not sticky dough is formed that you can work with. Knead the dough for 10 minutes.
- When the dough is smooth, place it in a lightly greased large bowl covered with damp towel and let it rise 60-90 minutes (or until doubled).
- *** If you are making cinnamon rolls, calzone, or pizza, you can begin rolling out your dough ***.
- Punch down the dough and let rise until doubled again, about 60-90 minutes.
- Pull off enough dough to make balls about 2-3 inches in diameter, and place in a greased 9 x 13" baking pan so they are touching (glass pans may cause bottoms to burn).
- Repeat with remaining dough (about 36 dinner rolls).
- Cover and let rise until doubled in size.
- Bake in a 400ºF oven for 20-25 minutes until golden on top.
- Remove from oven when golden brown, and brush liberally with 1/2 cup melted butter.

I have been working with families for over 18 years, and I have taught as a licensed parent and family educator in the state of Minnesota. I currently work in St. Paul Public Schools (District 625) working with families whose children were aged birth to 5 years old. One of my favorite ages to work with has to be those adorable 3-year-olds who tell it like it is-they crack me up! My teaching is built upon a philosophy of critical reflection, strength-based learning strategies, meeting families where they are at in their everyday living, and using a holistic approach to understand parenting challenges in the real world. My doctorate is in Education: Curriculum and Instruction-Family, Youth, and Community from the University of Minnesota. I had a strong focus on parent and family education, and my research was focused on teens and youth. I have explored children and teen's peer group formation, and my Ph.D. dissertation examined parent-teen conflict and argument from the teen perspective. My dissertation was published in book form under the title, "What Are Teens Thinking? Parent-Teen Conflict and Argument From the Teen Perspective." In addition to teaching parents, I dedicated many years to teaching up and coming parent educators, family life educators, and early childhood educators as an adjunct faculty at both the University of Minnesota and Concordia University
