Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:



2 c Hot water (120-130F)
1 c Nonfat dry milk
2 tb Sugar
2 ts Salt
5 c All-purpose or bread flour
2 Pkg. dry yeast
2 tb Each lard veg. shortening
1 Egg, beaten, mixed with a
- pinch of salt

Grease a large baking sheet (or have ready a Teflon one).

In a large mixing or mixer bowl pour the hot water and add the milk,
sugar, salt and 2 cups flour. Stir to blend. Add the yeast: stir.
Measure in the shortening. (The recipe's creator, a Swiss baker,
insists that half of the shortening should be lard if you're
attempting to duplicate the original flavor.) If working by hand,
beat with a wooden spoon: if in a mixer, use the flat beater. When
the shortening has been blended into the heavy batter, add the
balance of the flour, half a cup at a time, until the dough is a
shaggy mass and can be worked with the hands or under the dough hook.

Knead for 8 minutes by hand or in the mixer, until the dough is soft
and elastic.

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover tightly with plastic wrap,
and set aside until it has doubled in bulk, about 2 hours.

Turn dough from the bowl, and punch down.

Divide the dough into 24 pieces, and roll each into a ball until any
seams disappear. When each ball is round and cohesive, fashion it
into a long roll - 4 to 5 inches -- by pushing it back and forth
under your flattened palm with considerable pressure. Place the
rolls end to end on the baking sheet with a three-inch space between
the parallel rows. If there is dough for more rolls than the baking
sheet will accomodate, reserve it and repeat this step when the sheet
and oven are available.

Cover the rolls with wax paper and leave undisturbed for 40 minutes.
Then brush each roll with the egg/salt mixture. Leave uncovered for
another 20 minutes. At the end of the hour, brush again with the
glaze.

Preheat the oven to 375F.

When the rolls have been brushed for the second time, face the long
side of the rolls. Hold scissors at a 45-degree angle, and snip 5
triangular cuts across each roll, about 1" long, down the center of
each roll. The points of the cuts will rise, forming "buttons". Dip
the scissors in water frequently so the points don't stick to the
glaze.

When all the rolls have been cut, place the baking sheet on the
center rack of the oven. Halfway through baking, turn the sheet end
for end to equalize the heat on the rolls. They are done when glossy
brown, 35 minutes. Turn a roll over and tap the bottom crust to make
sure the crust is firm.

Place on a rack to cool somewhat before serving.
