SHAPING DOUGH AND ROLLS
When shaping and rolling out dough, it is extremely important not to add
additional flour to the working surface. Instead, if dough appears to be
slightly sticky when shaping, lightly spray your hands or working surface
with a non-stick vegetable spray or coat with vegetable shortening.
Cloverleaf Rolls - Shape into
1
⁄
2
inch balls. Place 3 balls in each muffin tin
and let rise until double in size.
Crisscross Rolls - Shape into balls, setting two aside. Combine the two balls
and roll into a
1
⁄
8
inch thick square. Cut strips
1
⁄
8
-inch wide and
2-inches long. Place one strip across the top of each roll. Repeat this
process, placing the second strip in the opposite direction across the top of
each roll.
Traditional Rolls - Shape into dough balls. For “pull apart” rolls, place
dough balls with sides touching. For individual rolls, place dough balls
2 inches apart.
