The ingredients for Dad's roll recipe speckerreck are:

That first bit of flour helps activate the yeast better. A trick I thought I had invented until a professional baker told me he does the same thing

Ok Shanelle Here is the correct recipe

3 cups VERY hot tap water
1/2 cup white sugar
3 tablespoons of yeast
1/4 cup of white flour or mashed potatoes

1/4 pound of butter melted
2. Tablespoons shortening

7-8 cups of white flour
1/4 cup dry milk
1.5 tablespoons of salt

Here is how you make Dad's roll recipe speckerreck:

Get hot water in bowl. Add sugar and stir to lower the temperature of the water a little. Add yeast and flour or mashed potatoes for the yeast to eat. Set aside and wait for a a froth to form on the surface. Usually about 10 minutesIn the meantime melt your butter and shortening in the microwave in the same bowl. Usually about a minute. When melted you can dump it in at the side of the main bowl that is starting to frothMix your dry milk with 1/2 cup of flour and dump it in main bowl along the side. Mixing it this way keeps the dry milk from clumping. If you don't have dry milk you can trade Make it one cup of hot milk and 2 cups of hot water instead of 3 cups of hot waterOnce you have a nice froth add remaining flour and salt and mix. This is important. You want the dough to be sticky when done. Not stiff. It should be so sticky that you can barely ball it in your floured hands. Sticky dough =light fluffy rolls. Stiff dough = hard dense rollsNow put a little flour on the counter and dump the dough on to it. Knead it for about a minute with the balls of your hands Kneading means squishing it out and folding it back over several times from various directions. You will feel the dough begin to hold together as you do this. You are activating the gluten which holds bread togetherNow grease a large pan and begin to form balls. Flour your hands so it doesn't stick to you too much. Balls are about 2 inches in diameter. To do this I grab a handful of dough then with my thumbs I pull sides of dough down and push it up into the bottom. This forms a nice smooth upper surface to the rolls. Place the balls about 1-2 inches apart on the pan. When the pan is full I like to spray the surface of the rolls with a little cooking oil or you could paint them with a little melted butterAllow them to rise to double size then place in a pre-heated oven at 350 degrees and cook for 20 minutes. When light golden on the surface pull them out and remove from pan to cooling rack or dishtowel. Don't overcook rollsNow eat them hot with some butter and think about heavenBy the way. This is the same recipe boise for scones sweet rolls and breadsticks. Pretty versatileServing Size:?48 rolls
