-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 packages active dry yeast
1 cup warm water -- 110-115 degrees
1 cup warm milk -- 110-115 degrees
2 Tablespoons sugar
2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
1 egg
1 teaspoon salt
5 1/2 cups all-purpose flour -- 5-1/2 to 6 cups
raisins (2 for each roll)
white frosting
HONEY BUTTER:
1 cup butter or margarine -- softened
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup confectioner's sugar
In a mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in water. Add milk, sugar,
oil, egg, salt and 4 cups flour; beat until smooth. Add
enough remaining flour to form a soft dough. Turn onto a
floured board; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8
min. Place in a greased bowl, turning once. Cover and let
rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour. Punch
dough down. For each bear, shape a 2" ball for the body. Add
a 1-1/4" ball for the head and six 1/2" balls for the ears,
arms and legs. Place 2" apart on greased baking sheets.
Cover and let rise until doubled, about 20 min. Bake at 400
degrees for 17 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on wire
racks. Add raisins for eyes, anchoring with a dab of
frosting. Add a frosting smile. In another bowl, beat honey
butter ingredients until fluffy. Chill; serve with rolls.
