Teddy
Bear Rolls
2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast
1 cup warm water (110 to 115)
1 cup warm milk (110 to 115)
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 egg
1 teaspoon salt
5-1/2 to 6-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
White frosting
HONEY BUTTER
1cup butter or margarine, softened
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup confectioners' 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 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to
grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
Punch dough down.
For each bear, shape a 2-in. ball for the body. Add a
1-1/4-in. ball for the head and six 1/2-in. balls for the ears, arms and legs.
Place 2 in. apart on greased baking sheets. Cover and let rise until doubled,
about 20 minutes. Bake at 400 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 mixing bowl, beat honey butter ingredients until fluffy.
Chill; serve with rolls.
