all great recipes ! will try them. copy and paste. When I make bread I usually use 'better for bread' have to try those other brands.

I found those big 2 lb. boxes of Wondra flour at my local United store this week and remembered Ms. Bea Tom's rolls. So, I made them and the dough was great, rose just right, but, after I form them they spread into a oblong mess LOL don't stay rounded. Wonder if the area I put them to raise is to warm (unheated oven) I'm in Tx and it's hot, period and I didn't turn on the air yet just because I wanted the rolls to raise without anything that might make them flop. They spread altogether in the pan and look messy. Threw most out just saving a few for bean soup today. LOL I'm giving up on rolls and sticking to bread making.

That Wondra big box is 5.00 a box for 2 lbs. I need to make something with this last box I bought to get rid of it and go back to just using that (small canister) to thicken gravy.

This is the recipe I made, but, mine tasted flat, no taste.

I believe this is the first time I've ever heard of anyone using Wondra for bread. I don't know why you would. I've read thousands of recipes for bread and have lots of cookbooks but this is a first. Also, that chicken casserole recipe she has on her site is certainly an old warhorse. I don't think she invented it. . . or gravy! Ha ha!!

Here is a pie crust recipe using Wondra Flour. Maybe you can find some recipes here to use up the Wondra. http://www.recipelink.com/cgi/msgbrd/ms.pl?listype=2&q=Wondra

Wondra Pie Crust
See the wonders of Wondra with this tender, flaky crust.

I N G R E D I E N T S
4 cup Wondra flour
2 cup Crisco vegetable shortening
1 Tbsp. salt
1 egg
1 tsp. cider vinegar
Milk

I N S T R U C T I O N S
Blend together, the flour, Crisco and salt with a pastry cutter. Using a 1 cup measuring cup, whip the egg and vinegar together, adding enough milk to make 1 cup of liquid. Add to the dry ingredients.

Heat oven to 425 degrees. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown. (Extra crust may be frozen for up to 3 months).

*For best results use Wondra flour when rolling crust out too.

Yeah, the gal who wants to make them and doesn't have the right measurements. You have to find the 2 lb boxes and I counted out 4-5 cups in a box. I used up the whole box to make the rolls then threw in trash. Ms. Bea said 1 3/4 pd and the box is 2 lb box you have just enough left over to roll the dough into balls in . It's a sticky dough. Dough, tasted good, though hahahahhah

I've got a tried and true recipe for bread, I'm skipping rolls, just can't make them. I got a good buttermilk biscuit recipe that turns out great every time. I'm sticking with my own limitations.

I'll concede roll making to others.

You should try the roll recipe. It's super easy especially since you can make the dough in the bread machine. You could roll the dough into 24 balls & bake in muffin tin with 2 balls in each. Just made some more.

yum yum, those look good ! I'm jealous and mad at the same time. LOL I copied that roll recipe you posted and maybe using jumbo muffin pan (what I would use) might be the answer to my problem.

Maybe,I'll give it one more time. Thanks for the pic ! Seems like somebody else told me to use muffin pans too. Think I pull off to big of a piece of dough and let it rise in to hot of a space and that's why they spread out instead of up. My technique needs refining.

Guess you have the water warm not hot , but, like in my bread machine you put in wet ingred's first , and I guess the butter is melted too? then you put the yeast in last after you made a hole in the middle of all the ingred.

I put in the water & egg 1st. I don't warm the water I just use room temperature water. After that I add the flours, salt, sugar & butter. I don't melt the butter. I cut each tablespoon into 4 pieces & put around the outer part of the pan. I add the yeast to the middle last. You can also use brown sugar instead of regular sugar which I did tonight since I ran out of sugar after making peach jam. I forgot to say in my original post that I brush the rolls with butter after they come out of the oven. DH likes the rolls better made with the brown sugar. Hope you try them & they turn out good. They are the easiest rolls I have ever made.
