                 Ingredients:

                    1 cup milk

                    1 cup water

                    2 tablespoons butter

                    1 tablespoon sugar

                    1 1/2 teaspoon salt

                    5 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

                    1 (.25 ounce) envelope active dry yeast

                    1 egg yolk

                    1 tablespoon water

   Method:

    1.  Combine the milk, 1 cup of water, butter, sugar and salt in a saucepan. Bring

     to a boil then remove from the heat and let stand until lukewarm. If the mixture

    is too hot, it will kill the yeast.

    2.  In a large bowl, stir together the flour and yeast. Pour in wet ingredients and

    stir until the dough starts to pull together.

    note:  If you have a stand mixer, use the dough hook to mix for about 8

    minutes. If not, knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes.

    3.  Place the dough in a greased bowl, turning to coat. Cover and let stand until

    doubled in size, about 1 hour.

    4.  Oil hands and punch down dough, dividing into 12 portions They should be a

    little larger than a golf ball. Make tight balls out of the dough by pulling the

    dough tightly around and pinching it at the bottom.

    5.  Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil. After

    the rolls sit for a minute and relax, flatten each ball with the palm of your hand

    until it is 3 to 4 inches wide.

    6.  Set rolls aside until they double in size, about 20 minutes.

    7.  Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Mix together the egg

    yolk and 1 tablespoon of water in a cup or small bowl. Brush onto the tops of

    8.  Position 2 oven racks so they are not too close to the top or bottom of the

    9.  Bake for 10 minutes in the preheated oven.

    10.  Remove the rolls from the oven and return them to different shelves so

    each one spends a little time on the top. Continue to bake for another 5 to 10

    minutes, or until nicely browned on the top and bottom.
