I watched the bread machine and it kneaded for appr. 20 minutes, rested for an hour, kneaded for 1 minute and rested for about 10. Then beeped at me to get them out. But I have no idea what the temp is inside the machine...I assume it heats up a little to a more rising environment? <BR/><BR/>I'm so glad that worked for you! And thank you for the nice words.<BR/><BR/>:)My name is Michelle.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02649101060281144314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30488975.post-88875968751422871102007-11-24T02:26:00.000-05:002007-11-24T02:26:00.000-05:00Hi Michelle-I just wanted to let you know that I w...Hi Michelle-<BR/>I just wanted to let you know that I went ahead and tried the roll recipe by hand. It was wonderful! I used warm water and added the yeast to that first then continued with the rest of the ingredients. I beat in as much flour as I could then stirred and kneaded the rest in. After kneading, I covered it and let it rest about 15 minutes and then made the rolls. The rolls received rave reviews at my parents house tonight!!<BR/>Thank you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30488975.post-48849472259434879402007-11-22T09:25:00.000-05:002007-11-22T09:25:00.000-05:00Amanda, I'm a little ashamed to say that I have *n...Amanda, I'm a little ashamed to say that I have *never* made bread by hand before. So in all honesty, I have no idea. I know that my machine takes about 1 ½ hours to get the bread to the right dough consistency for the final rising. I actually have some that I just put in, I'll watch it and then tell you in a later comment what the machine does and for how long. Though I can't at all say if that will be helpful. Thank you for your kind works. :)My name is Michelle.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02649101060281144314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30488975.post-23970516578565617302007-11-21T13:24:00.000-05:002007-11-21T13:24:00.000-05:00Hi!This looks like a great recipe..

I was just wondering if you could tell me what I would have to change since I don't have a bread maker and I don't know what the bread maker does that first hour and a half...

It would certainly be handy to have them all ready to rise in the freezer. I'll try to remember to freeze a couple the next time I make a batch and let you know how they turn out!My name is Michelle.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02649101060281144314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30488975.post-70327718766443582622007-11-17T14:09:00.000-05:002007-11-17T14:09:00.000-05:00Hi Michelle,I love reading your blog and I always ...Hi Michelle,<BR/><BR/>I love reading your blog and I always especially enjoy tutorials.

My machine takes about 1 hour and 20 minutes to go thru the kneading process.<BR/>Yes, I know the yeast is good because (1) I had just purchased it, and (2) I made up a loaf of bread to serve with dinner right after the roll mess and it came out beautifully.<BR/>I think I will try cutting the recipe in half first and see what a difference that makes.<BR/>I will let you know what happens!<BR/>Blessings,<BR/>AndreaAndrea Maddiexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17717932890481626763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30488975.post-83523195873349858952007-11-14T16:22:00.000-05:002007-11-14T16:22:00.000-05:00Andrea, I'm so sorry it didn't work.

My machine makes a 2# loaf, but I wouldn't think that would make much difference as long as you weren't actually baking it in the machine, but using the machine for the kneading process? I really can't say for sure though. <BR/> <BR/>I suppose you could scale the recipe down, maybe cut it in half? And try a one pound loaf size? <BR/><BR/>I have never made it by hand, though I'm sure it's possible. <BR/><BR/>How long did your machine take to knead? And you're sure the yeast was good? Also, if you're at a higher altitude, it might help to put another quarter cup of flour?<BR/><BR/>I'm really just guessing here. Please let me know if you try it again and how it works out. And again, I'm sorry. What a mess.<BR/><BR/>If anyone else has any ideas on this I'd love to hear them. I've never had anything at all like this happen when making this recipe.My name is Michelle.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02649101060281144314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30488975.post-30986585243136200302007-11-14T16:08:00.000-05:002007-11-14T16:08:00.000-05:00Hello!Ok, hopefully this one will go through.I att...Hello!<BR/>Ok, hopefully this one will go through.<BR/>I attempted the rolls last night for dinner. I followed the instructions to a tee, but when I dumped the dough out of the bread machine it came out a soggy mess! I have NO IDEA what happened. I did notice lumps in the dough that looked like the yeast did not blend properly. I noticed in the pics that your bread machine has two paddles. What size loaf does it make? Mine makes a 1 and a half pound loaf (largest). None of the recipes in my bread machine book ever use more than about 3 cups of flour. Could it be my machine is too small? I was soooo disappointed because these rolls are beautiful and this is such an easy recipe. Do you have any ideas how to fix this? Have you ever mixed them by hand? I really want to try these!<BR/>Blessings,<BR/>AndreaAndrea Maddiexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17717932890481626763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30488975.post-78163701338699986482007-11-14T09:13:00.000-05:002007-11-14T09:13:00.000-05:00Andrea, I didn't get it!

And any scale should do. This scale also measures in pounds and ounces, but I just can't remember if I've ever used it to measure the rolls! Most people could eyeball it pretty easy. It's just not my thing. This recipe makes 19-20 dinner sized (and we're in the South, dinner sized is fist sized ;) rolls or about 10 hamburger buns.<BR/><BR/>Carrie, thank you!
