Texas Moppin' Rolls - Bread Machine version
Makes 6 rolls.
This is a sturdy roll that stands up to barbecued brisket and they are good for moppin' up the juice from baked beans (hopefully really good baked beans). It is mixed and kneaded in the machine, then shaped by hand and baked in the oven.
1 cup plus 3 tablespoons water
1/2 teaspoon honey
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 cups bread flour
1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup minced onoin
3/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons instant yeast
Put the ingredients into the bread machine container in the order given. Select dough/manual cycle.
When the cycle is complete, remove the dough from the machine. Cover and let rest 10 minutes. Divide the dough into 6 equal pieces. Roll each piece into an oval. Place the rolls in a greased 9 by 9 inch square baking pan. Cover and let rise in a warm, draft-free place about 30 minutes, or until almost doubled. Bake in a preheated 375 degree oven for 20 minutes or until done. Remove from pan and cool on a wire rack.
These are also good sliced and used for cold cut sandwiches. For daintier rolls divide the dough into 12 pieces, but everyone is going to take two rolls anyway, so you might as well make them large.
