Meals in a Roll

2tablespoons yeast
2tablespoons sugar
1cup water
Add
¼cup sugar
tablespoons salt
4cups water
1cup oil
teaspoons vinegar
13 -15cups flour (white, whole wheat or a mix of each)
½cup wheat germ (optional)

Mix first 3 items in a bowl and let stand in a large bowl
2 Knead out until dough is soft and does not stick to your hands.
3 Cover and let rise 45 minutes.
4 Punch down and let rise 30 minutes.
5 Shape into buns and let rise for 2 hours.
6 Bake at 375 for 15-17 minutes or until golden brown.





I  freeze most of them unbaked without doing the final 2 hour rise that the recipe calls for. You can use your favorite dough recipe if you like. I like this one because it makes a ton all at once. I got about 90 rolls. I am sure you can get more, I just didn't roll out my dough super thin on some of them.

First let the dough rise the first two times according to the recipe. Then take a chunk of the dough and roll it out into a rectangle.
Put your toppings on it.
For Pizza Rolls: chop up some peperoni. Sprinkle the dough with Shirley J's Pizza and Pasta Seasoning, cheese, and pepperoni. Then roll it up.
For Ham and Cheese: Chop up some sliced ham (I used lunch meat) and sprinkle that with cheddar cheese all over the dough.
For Cinnamon Rolls: Spread butter and then sprinkle your cinnamon and sugar on top.
Pineapple Rolls: Do like what you did for the cinnamon rolls but sprinkle crushed pineapple on top too. You will want to get a bit of the juice out of the pineapple or it makes it hard to cut and roll the rolls. (These are SUPER GOOD)
For Hawaiian Rolls: Do the same as you did for the Pizza, but put cut up ham instead of pepperoni in it.

I am sure there are thousands of different ways you can do this. These are just some of the ones I did.
You then roll the dough starting at the long end. Seal the end to the roll. I cut these rolls with dental floss. You put the dental floss around the “log” and cross the two end to pinch and cut off a roll. This works much better than a knife. I place the rolls on a baking sheet lined with wax paper and then put them in the freezer. Once they are frozen solid I bag them in Ziploc bags.

I found this recipe a year ago. I am sorry to say I don't remember where I got it. But I love it!

What's your favorite freezable recipe??
