- Ready In:
- 1hr 50mins
- Ingredients:
- 6
- Yields:
-
4 Large rolls
ingredients
- 3 1⁄2 cups white flour
- 3 3⁄4 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons salt
- 3 1⁄2 teaspoons turbinado sugar
- 2 tablespoons lard
- 1 cup water
directions
- Put all the ingredients except the water into a large bowl and blend until you get fine crumbs.
- Add the water and knead for two minutes, then let rise until doubled in size.
- Punch down and divide into four equal portions. Brush with water and turn over. Let rest for 15 minutes, then turn over again and let rest for another 15 minutes.
- Sprinkle the tops of the rolls with flour and place them in a preheated 325 degree oven for 15 minutes or until golden (mine took more like 25 or 30 minutes, so make sure you watch them). This is a really soft bread, so your rolls aren't going to sound too hollow when you knock on them. Go by color instead.

I am a mother of two with another one on the way! I am married to an Englishman and we own a small business in our local area. We live in a very small town called Rough and Ready (yes there really is a place called Rough and Ready!) I am a part-time writer and full time mom. My kids were born 15 months apart and keep me so busy I barely have enough time to cook and no time at all for my other passion, horseback riding. I once had four horses but am down to two; my Arab mare Argo and old Denver. Both of them spend the vast majority of their time standing around in my back yard eating hay. I get to feed them and look at them, but until my kids are all in school (and I stop having more kids) that's about it.
