DIRECTIONS
|
|
1:
Sprinkle yeast over 1/2 cup of the
warm water in large bowl of electric
mixer. Add 1 tablespoon of the
sugar. Let stand until yeast is soft
(about 5 minutes). Add the remaining sugar, the
remaining 1 1/2 cups warm water, salt,
and oil. Add 4 cups of the flour, mix to
blend, then beat at medium speed
until smooth and elastic (about
5 minutes).

|
2:
Stir in about 1 1/2 cups more flour
to make a soft dough. Turn dough out onto a board or pastry cloth coated with some of the
remaining 1/2 to 1 cup flour.
Knead until dough is smooth and
satiny and small bubbles form just
under surface (10 to 15 minutes),
adding just enough flour to prevent
dough from being sticky. Turn dough in a greased bowl.
Cover with plastic wrap and a towel.
Let rise in a warm place until doubled
in bulk (45 minutes to 1 hour).

|
3:
Punch dough down. Cover with
inverted bowl and let rest for 10
minutes. Divide into 16 equal pieces.
Shape each into a ball. Place rolls about 1 inch apart on
greased baking sheets. Let rise until
almost doubled in bulk (about
30 minutes). Preheat oven to 400° F.

4:
Brush rolls lightly with egg white
mixture. Sprinkle with poppy seed or
sesame seed. With a razor blade
or thin-bladed, sharp knife, slash top
of each roll, starting from center and
making five evenly spaced cuts
about 1/2 inch deep. Bake until well browned (18 to 20 minutes). Transfer to wire racks
to cool.
