- After dough rises to about double in size, punch down and knead a couple of times to reform ball, recover and let rise again.

This is the find of the season! What a magnificent recipe! I wasn't sure about adding chicken broth (protein type qualities) to a bread, but I just went with it. And I should of been bowing instead, and I did. D-Six - you have a really exceptional recipe here, and I hope more folks will try this. I did not deviate from the recipe, although I confess to using my bread machine for the dough/knead part. This produced such a light, puffy, roll that you could easily devour two of at one sitting. I don't know if it was the shortening, the chicken broth (used my own) or what, but you have a winner here. Thank you!

I love cooking...obviously....I love to create...but unfortunatly...I dont write things down...lost a few recipes, but hopefully this will help. I work in the Coffee industry, have worked as a chef and have owned my own cafe at one time. Would love to get back into it some day.
