Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 cups water
  • 1.5 tsp salt
  • 2 Tbsp sugar, honey or maple syrup
  • 4.5 cups flour
  • 2 tsp yeast

Method
 

  1. Dump the ingredients in the bread machine in the order listed.
  2. Settings: 2 lb loaf, basic loaf.

Notes

To make it into rolls: 
Add the ingredients in order as listed and choose the dough setting.
I usually need to roll the dough around in some flour to get it manageable to handle, then cut it into 24 equal parts.
Roll them in on themselves and place in a buttered 9x13 dish. 
Bake at 375 for 15 or so minutes. 
Butter the rolls while they cool. Â
