3 1/3 cup bread flour plus 1 or 2 TB more if needed
2 TB wheat germ
2 tsp sugar
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 TB butter
1 1/4 cup water

Directions:
1. Mix all ingredients in a bread maker on the manual white bread setting.
2. Shape into about 16 rolls (elongated) or 12 hamburger small buns.
3. Let rise uncovered about 35-45 minutes until doubled.
4. Bake at 400 degrees about 8 minutes.
5. Immediately cool on rack and freeze.
6. To use, defrost somewhat and bake until golden at 400 degrees just before ready to serve. To make rolls crustier, put hot water in a pan on the bottom shelf of the oven while baking.

Lemon Dinner Rolls

by Grandma Edith Malloy

These rolls are a special treat.

Ingredients:
1 pkg dry yeast
1 cup milk, scalded and cooled
1/4 cup lukewarm water (110°)
1 TB sugar
4 cups flour (divided use: 1 1/2 cup and 2 3/4 cup)
1/4 cup sugar
3 TB butter
1 egg (not too large)
1 egg yolk
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp lemon extract (Bill Malloy uses 1 tsp)

Directions:
1. Dissolve yeast and the 1 TB sugar in the warm water, and then add the cooled milk.
2. Add about 1 1/4 cups of the flour to make a sponge and beat smooth.
3. Cover and let rise 1 hour, or until double.
4. Cream together butter and the 1/4 cup sugar and add to the sponge. Add slightly beaten eggs, extract and salt and about 1 cup of flour. Beat well. (At this point, a dough hook or other electrical kneading is extremely helpful. Dough should be as soft as possible and is sticky if completely hand kneaded.) Add the rest of the flour, using dough hook, until well kneaded.
5. Lightly flour board and dough and knead very gently until smooth. Place in greased bowl, turn over and cover to rise for about 1 hour, or until double. (Could shape rolls now, but better results if dough is punched down, covered, and refrigerated overnight.) Be sure to allow enough time for each rising. Unless using Rapid Rise yeast, allow 3 hrs from fridge to serving time.
6. Working quickly, with no flour on the board, divide dough into small rolls and place on lightly greased pans, far enough apart so they will not touch after rising. Cover and let rise until double. If dough was not refrigerated, this takes about 1 hour. If cold dough, figure at least 2 hours. Best to bake as soon as double.
7. Bake at 400° F for 9-15 minutes or until a light golden brown. Do not over-bake.

**Note: This works well with a bread maker. Make sponge and let rise as directed above. Place all ingredients in breadmaker, using manual setting. When breadmaker finishes, remove dough, shape, let rise, and bake as directed above.
