From the time they were old enough to talk, my two kids told me these rolls looked like they had freckles. The name stuck. Ingredients:
2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast |
2 cups warm milk (110° to 115°) |
1 cup butter, softened |
1 cup sugar |
4 eggs |
2 teaspoons salt |
7 to 8 cups king arthur unbleached bread flour |
1/2 cup toasted wheat germ |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in milk. Add butter, sugar, eggs, salt and 4 cups flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in wheat germ and enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
2. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl; turn once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
3. Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface, divide into four portions. Roll each into a 12-in. circle; cut each circle into 12 wedges. Roll up wedges from the wide end and place pointed end down 2 in. apart on greased baking sheets. Curve ends to form a crescent shape. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 45 minutes.
4. Bake at 375° for 12 minutes or until light golden brown. Remove from pans to wire racks. Yield: 4 dozen.
