Oatmeal Dinner Rolls

2 c. water
1 c. dry quick oats
3 T butter or margarine
1 package dry yeast
1/3 c. warm water
1/3 c. packed brown sugar
1 T. sugar
1 t. salt
5-6 c. flour

In saucepan, bring 2 c. water to a boil. Add oats and butter. Cook and stir for 1 minute. Remove from heat. Cool to lukewarm.

In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in 1/3 c. warmish water. Add cooled oats mixture, sugars, salt and 4 c. flour. Beat until smooth. Add enough flour to make a soft dough.

At this point, I deviate from the recipe. It says to turn onto a floured surface and knead, adding additional flour for 6-8 minutes. But because my mixer is a big heavy-duty contraption with an attachment for kneading bread dough, I just used that for about 5 minutes and added additional flour as it was working the dough until it started to clean the sides of the bowl.

Place in a greased bowl, turning over to grease the top. Cover and let rise for about an hour in a warm place (until double in size).

Punch down. Let rest for 10 minutes. Then shape into 18 balls. Place them in a greased round pan (I actually made 3 pans of rolls out of this one recipe).
Cover and let rise again until double (about 45 minutes or longer). (Be sure they are rising in a warm place)

Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. When you remove them from the oven, brush the tops with butter. Enjoy!!

While I'm on a roll, let me give you the BEER BREAD recipe again:

3 c. SELF-RISING flour
2 eggs mixed with 2 T. water
2 T. sugar
1 12 oz. can beer

Mix all. Pour into 1 greased loaf pan. Let sit for 15 minutes before baking.
Bake at 375 degrees for 50-55 minutes.

Tastes just like that expensive stuff you buy from Tastefully Simple or Pampered Chef.

Good stuff!!

I just made some Banana Bread because I had some bananas ready to go bad on me. This is a good recipe and really easy.


Banana Bread

2 eggs
1/2 c. butter (soft)
1 c. sugar
3 ripe bananas
1/2 c. buttermilk
1 t. soda
2 c. flour

I just take all of this and throw it into my mixer, turn it on and walk away. After it's all mixed together well, pour into a greased loaf pan and bake at 350 for about an hour (watch it. Stick a toothpick in to see if it comes out clean or close. If it does, it's done)

that's all there is to it. Doesn't get much easier than this!

I am looking for some recipes for tortillas and the process that you go through to make them. I am in Brazil, so I cant go and buy them at the grocery store, although my husband took a liking to them while we were in the States. Any help out there?

I will PM you later, I think that Brazil is far away enough to give out our family's secret recipe!!

Don't know how to make them but I sure know how to eat them........

I usually buy the kind you cook at home. Not the kind already cooked, but they're missing the last step.

I haven't tried to make my own yet. Now you've given me ideas...

My wife will send you the bill for cleaning up after me since it's all your fault.
