Basic Sweet Roll Dough

In Bosch mixer with dough hook add:
3 cups warm water
2 cups warm milk
1 cup sugar
4 eggs
4 tablespoons yeast
1/2 cup canola oil
1 1/2 tablespoons salt
4 tablespoons dough enhancer (optional…I personally do not use this)

Add 12-13 cups whole-wheat flour to make soft dough that cleans the side of the bowl.  Knead for about 10 minutes on speed 1.  Shape into dinner rolls, cinnamon rolls, orange rolls, filled breads, pull aparts, etc. and bake until golden after allowing whatever you have shaped to rise to double in size.

Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes…possibly longer depending on what you’re baking.  This is just a basic dough that can be used for many different breads. 

Sorry for leaving out important details and thanks to Shawna for pointing that out to me! :)

Baking Powder Biscuits

2 cups flourbaking powder biscuits*
3 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1-1/2 tsp sugar
1/4 cup butter
3/4 cup milk

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

Combine flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Cut in butter thoroughly, until the mixture looks like cornmeal. Stir in almost all the milk. You want your dough to be a soft, puffy, easy-to-roll dough. You can add more milk to get this consistency. Too much milk will make your dough sticky. Not enough milk will make your biscuits dry.
