Teddy Bear Rolls

[Dee]

 

 

 

2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast

1 cup warm water (110 to 115)

1 cup warm milk (110 to 115)

2 tablespoons sugar

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 egg

1 teaspoon salt

5-1/2 to 6-1/2 cups all-purpose flour

Raisins (2 for each roll)

White frosting

 

 

 

HONEY BUTTER

1cup butter or margarine, softened

1/4 cup honey

1/4 cup confectioners' sugar

 

 

 

In a mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in water. Add milk, sugar, oil, egg, salt and 4 cups flour; beat until

 

 

smooth. Add enough remaining flour to form a soft dough. Turn onto a floured board; knead until smooth

 

 

and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise

 

 

in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour. Punch dough down.

 

 

 

For each bear, shape a 2-in. ball for the body. Add a 1-1/4-in. ball for the head and six 1/2-in. balls

 

 

for the ears, arms and legs. Place 2 in. apart on greased baking sheets. Cover and let rise until

 

 

doubled, about 20 minutes. Bake at 400 for 17 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on wire racks.

 

 

 

Add raisins for eyes, anchoring with a dab of frosting. Add a frosting smile. In another mixing bowl,

 

 

beat honey butter ingredients until fluffy. Chill; serve with rolls. Yield: about 10 rolls (1-1/4 cups

 

 

butter).
