Honey yeast rolls

Mix in bottom of stand mixer bow:

• 1 cup warm tap water
• 1/3 cup oil
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 2 tablespoons yeast

 Let proof (get big and frothy) for a few minutes

beat together:

• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 egg 

add egg, salt and butter in with yeast mixture, mix 

•   2 tablespoon softened butter

Start adding bread flour, 1 cup at a time.      You want a dough that is not sticky.   

• 3 to 4 cups bread flour
  

Let stand mixer knead for about 10 minutes.     Let stand for a couple minutes, then turn on for a few seconds to beat down. 

Meanwhile grease the bottom of two 8" square pans  (or one 13 x 9 or two pie plates).     Divide dough into 18 balls, 9 per pan.     Preheat oven to 400.   Cover with a warm towel and allow to proof for 20-30 minutes.   

Brush top of each roll with a bit of cream mixed with honey.   

Bake for about 12 minutes, until lightly brown on top.

Gluten Free Peanut Butter Cookies: Just remember 1

1 cup peanut butter (I prefer Jif)
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp baking powder
1 cup chopped peanuts

Mx the first five ingredients well, then add chopped peanuts.  Taking rounded tablespoons of dough, roll into balls.    Roll balls in sugar or just sprinkle on top.   Flatten slightly with the bottom of a glass.   Bake on parchment paper, in a 350 degree oven, for about 15 minutes.    IMPORTANT:  allow these to cool a few minutes before you remove them to wire racks to cool completely. 

If desired, press a Hershey's kiss, (or a dark chocolate drop) into the cookie IMMEDIATELY after removing from oven!
