"Pick me, Betty"

Here are a few pictures from our enrichment a couple weeks ago. Sorry it has taken me some time to post them but here they are.

Enrichment Food Storage Dinner Menu

Rolls (Julie Porter's recipe)

1 C. Sugar
4 t. salt
5 C. warm water
2 C. powdered milk
4 eggs
2 cubes butter
8 C. flour
3 T. Yeast
6 C. Flour
Bake at 330 degrees. This recipe does 2 big cookie sheets (16 x 12). 5
rolls across by 6 rows down. 60 rolls total. The dough is very sticky. After
you let it rise one time, then you dump/pour it out onto a very
floured surface. Then you rub flour over the top so that it is
manageable. You don't want to mix more flour into the dough, you just
want it on the surface so that you can work with the dough. Then you
let them rise on the cookie sheet and bake 17-20 minutes.
