Recipe for Banana Bread & Butter rolls

Banana Bread first


Ingrediments:
For about 3 pans of banana bread:
5 cups of flour.
1 tablespoon and a half of baking powder a tablespoon and a half of baking soda
1 tablespoon of salt
2 cups butter melted before mixing
3 cups Brown sugar
5 tsp of vanilla 1 1/2 tbsp
4 eggs
6 to 8 mashed bananas,

Now Ingrediments for just 1 pans (or 2 small pans) of banana bread.

1 1/2cups flour
1 tsp baking soda,
just a pinch of salt
1/2 cup butter (melted before mix)
1 cup sugar (brown or white)
1.5-2 tsp vanilla
1 egg
3 smashed bananas
And then using the same directions.

Directions:

Mix it all together throw it in the pans bake at 350* for about 45-50 minutes and then 325* till pau.
Stick it with a real long toothpick to verify that it's all cooked throughout.



Butter Rolls:
Ingrediments:
3 cup Water
2 tbs Salt
1/2 cup Yeast
1 cup vegetable oil
3 cup Flower
more salt 2 tbs
Yeast milk

Directions:
Add the water, salt & yeast then
stir thoroughly with a whisker
Then in a separate bowl Add the Flower & salt then
again dry stir thoroughly with a whisker
Then add vegetable oil
Then add 3 cups of yeast milk
then kneed with your hands until thoroughly mixed.
Then kneed on a cutting board large enough to kneed bread.
spread flower on the board for non stick.
Then kneed the bread
then put the bread dough into a cooking pan and let it rise for ???

In terms of the prep, the batter is literally a dump-and-mix job. There is a major difference in rise time compared to kneaded dough which can rise in 30 – 45 minutes for the 1st rise, then around the same for the 2nd rise after forming the rolls. For these No Knead Dinner Rolls, the dough is much wetter than kneaded dough, so it takes longer to rise. 1.5 – 2 hours, depending on how warm it is where you are. If you use my ridiculous-but-effective tip of rising the dough in your (empty! warm!) dryer, it takes 1.5 hours.

Then take it out of the bowl and cut into sections to make balls a little smaller than tennis size balls out of it.
Oil a baking pan and shape the balls to put onto the baking pan then paint brush cover them with melted butter.
Put into the oven and bake at 350* for about 20 min or so until they become golden brown on the top.
Then when you break them open to eat, stuff them again full of butter and they're ready to eat.
