Leftover rolls can be stored in an airtight bag at room temperature for 2-3 days. For longer storage, wrap the roll in foil and place in a ziplock freezer bag.When ready to eat, remove the roll from the bag. Place the foil-wrapped roll in a 300 degree oven for 10 minutes.

Recipe for tastier bread:

  • 2 cup hot water
  • 2/3 cup powdered milk
  • 2 tablespoon yeast, active dry
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 tea spoon salt
  • 1/3 cup butter, unsalted softened
  • 1 big egg
  • 5-6 cup flour all purpose or bread crumbs
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • In a large bowl or mixer bowl, combine 2 cups of warm water with powdered milk, whisking to dissolve the milk. Add the yeast to this mixture while the water and milk are still warm. The yeast will start bubbling for a few minutes (about 3-5 minutes).

  • Add sugar, salt, butter, eggs and 2 cups flour. Using mixer dough hook, mix on low speed until ingredients are moistened, then turn on medium speed and mix for 2 minutes. Stop mixer, add 2 more cups of flour (4 cups total flour added so far), mix on low speed until ingredients are moistened, turn mixer on medium speed and mix for another 2 minutes.

  • Add about 1/2 to 1 cup of flour and mix again. If you’re using bread crumbs, you’ll need to add a pinch of flour. Adding more flour as needed will make it easier to handle without sticking to your hands or mixer.

  • Scrape the dough down the sides of the bowl and pour a tablespoon of canola oil all over the sides of the bowl. Cover with plastic wrap or cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size. (about 1 hour)

  • Once the dough has risen, dust a clean countertop with flour and place the dough on top of the flour. If the dough is sticky, dust it with flour to increase workability and keep it from sticking. Roll out into a large rectangle about 12 inches by 8 inches.

  • Slice off the middle horizontally with a pizza cutter and cut completely lengthwise into 2-inch strips. Cut the halves again horizontally.

  • Grease a baking sheet with oil or cover with parchment. Roll each slice of dough from one end to the other (like rolling up a rug) and place seam side down on the prepared baking sheet. Let it ferment until it doubles in size.

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Remove the lid and bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes.
