A Sunday tradition--(tradition! think of fiddler on the roof)

Hi all-
I'm getting back to my Sunday tradition of making rolls--remember when you all were little and I use to do that? I stop for a while because of the surgery---but I think I'm back (I use my big 'ole mixer) anyhow lots of folks are picturing recipes on the blog _so I am featuring one of my favorites with some options of how to cook the rolls okay here goes: the basic recipe is:
1/4 c warm water
2T yeast
1 t sugar
dissolve yeast in the sugar water--for 5 minutes while that is going on: you can be combining
2 C warm water
2/3 cup powder milk (non-fat dry milk)-
1/2 c sugar
1/2 T. salt

1/4 cup oil /margerine/ or shortning..
1 egg
approx 5 c flour
add the yeast and mix all for 7 minutes adding flour as needed to make soft dough--rise 45 min
shape into desired --rolls , or breadsticks -0r bread or such...

these are some of my favorite variations of what I do with the basic dough mixture-- (:
1) whip up 1 pint whip cream --add 3/4 brown sugar spread into the pan--lay cinnimon rolls --cresent rolls onto the whip cream cream raise 30 min-bake --
makes a yummy carmel sauce--

2) I like to make bread sticks and add 1/4 mayo, 1/4 tsp parsley 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, 1/4 c. butter--spread mixture on the bread sticks before they rise -then rise 30 min-& then bake-
-
3) to make Orange rolls just combine 1 cube butter melted slightly 1 c sugar, 1/4 cup grated orange rhine and 1 T. orange juice concentrate--spread over a rolled out retangle of the dough
roll up the retangle and slice up like you would cinnimon rolls--let rise 30 min and bake-
-
4_ lay the dough in retangle--make 2 inches slices of the retangle then cut again 3 inch lenghthwise and stack up strips of dough as pictured in this blog--then put the 2x3 inch stacks of dough into a muffin tins...and raise and bake--makes more of a layer roll as pictured...enjoy
5) Fry up dough in grease-- for scones --top with honey butter

6) last but not least think of someone who might need 1/2 dozen warm rolls and share them (:

these are the things I am going to demonstrate for the R.Society mini cooking class when Its at my house next Oct. so I thought I might was well blog it since I have to type up the directions anyhow --happy bread making ---
