Rosette Rolls

3 to 3 and 1/2 cups flour
1 and 1/4 cup whole wheat flour
1 packet dry active yeast
1 cup milk

1/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup butter (you can use shortening as well)
3/4 tsp salt
2 beaten eggs

1.  in a large mixing bowl stir together 2 cups of the flour and the yeast.  in a medium saucepan heat and stir milk, sugar, shortening and salt til just warm and shortening almost melts.  add milk mixture to dry mixture along with eggs.  beat.  add as much of the rest of the flour as you can and knead til you have good dough.  (I actually use my bread machine to make the dough and let it do it's first rise: just mix yeast, sugar and warm milk- which I use food storage dried milk and water- and let sit for 5 minutes.  Then add everything else and let it do all the work!  Go to step 3 from here.)

2.  let rise for about an hour

3.  make them into whatever shape you want.  i make "rosettes" which, if you remember them, are basically like a pretzel wrapped in on itself.  rise 45 minutes.  (i let them rise with a little bit of real butter on them for salty yumminess on top.)

4.  bake @ 375 til golden..about 11 min. enjoy!
