Gone to the bread store...

So, this afternoon I went to the Bosch store to see how to make dinner rolls. And I knew they would want to show the Bosch mixer and I also knew that I could wait to buy one because I already have the Professional Mixer by Kitchen Aide. But,I couldn't wait! I saw how fast and easy it was to make in that darn mixer and I had to call my husband and beg, pretty please, to get it. I told the ladies that I had to go outside to call my husband and I didn't want them to see me cry if he said no. So, here I am, out there with the phone to my ear and I just know they were trying not to let me know that they were watching me, but when he said yes I just had to do the happy dance, so they were laughing when I danced back in. Yes, I said dance because I was so happy that I was like a little child in a candy store that has just been told she could have ANY candy that she wanted. Those ladies were so nice! I think one of them was the owner because she gave me the cookie paddles for cost. And then when she found out that I wanted the shredder/slicer, she told me that I could get that for 5% above cost!! I'm doing the happy dance wiggle while I'm sitting on my bed with my laptop!!! I cannot tell you how excited I was and am. They also gave me a loaf of 7 grain wheat bread!! (I think they felt guilty because I told them I was going to take back my awesome itouch ipod so I could get this mixer! I didn't feel guilty! I love that mixer after watching them use it! And I can use my kids ipods!)

Lynn, guess what! I got these recipes from the Bosch store made specifically for the mixer. I hope you don't have them because then it's not as exciting for me to tell you them.

Dad's Favourite Dinner Rolls

1 cup mashed, cooked butternut squash
1 Tbs., rounded, Tofu Drink Mix (or powdered milk)
2 Tbs. melted butter
1 Tbs., rounded, Saf Instant Yeast
1 1/2 cups water, hot
1 cup unbleached sugar
1 tsp. Real Salt
4 1/2 cups Spelt flour

Directions:

1. peel, cube and steam butternut squash in your pressure cooker for five minutes at second red ring. Manual release. (If you're like me and don't have a clue what that means, just steam the darn thing)

2. Using water from steamed squash, add more hot water to equal 1 1/2 cups. Add rounded tablespoon of Tofu Drink Mix to water and whisk until blended. Add butter and allow it to melt completely.

3.Place steamed squash in your Bosch bowl and whip until pureed. Add Tofu water, sugar, butter and yeast.

4.Add half of the Spelt flour and put the Real Salt on top of flour. Using your dough hooks, gradually add remaining flour until the dough cleans the curve at the bottom of your bowl.

5. Knead dough for 10 minutes. (no more because it will break down some gluten strands or something)

6. Remove dough from bowl and using a dough cutter, cut it into 24 equal pieces.

7. Spray your baking pans with Vegalene, roll each piece into a ball and place approx. one inch apart in your baking pans.

8. Allow rolls to rise until double in a draft-free space.

9. Preheat oven to 400 degrees and bake for 15-18 min.

10. Remove rolls from pans and place on a wire rack to cool slightly before serving. Brush tops with melted butter if desired. Enjoy!

11. She also said that she brushes egg whites on her rolls before she bakes them and then sprinkles sesame seeds on it and then bakes them.

O.k., that was a lot of typing so I'll get the other one tomorrow! LOL!
