Mrs. William Edwin Baker - Colorado Springs, Colorado
Bake-Off® Contest 1, 1949
The first Bake-Off® Contest, in 1949, was called Pillsbury's Grand National Recipe and Baking Contest. It was launched by First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt. These no-knead rolls from almost fifty years ago continue to be a natural for today's busy cooks.


   5 to 6 cups all-purpose flour
   1/4 cup sugar
   1 teaspoon baking powder
   1 teaspoon salt
   1/2 teaspoon baking soda
   1 package active dry yeast
   1 cup water
   1 cup milk
   1/2 cup shortening
   1 egg


Grease 24 muffin cups. In large bowl, combine 3 cups flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, baking soda and yeast; blend well In small saucepan, heat water, milk and shortening until very warm (120 to 130°F.). Add warm liquid and egg to flour mixture. Blend at low speed until moistened; beat 3 minutes at medium speed. By hand, stir in remaining 2 to 3 cups flour to form a stiff dough. Cover loosely with greased plastic wrap and cloth towel. Let rise in warm place (80 to 85°F.) until light and doubled in size, about 1 hour.

Punch down dough several times to remove all air bubbles.* On well-floured surface, toss dough until no longer sticky. Divide dough into 24 equal pieces; shape into balls.** Place 1 ball in each greased muffin cup. With scissors or sharp knife, make X-shaped cut in each ball, forming 4 equal pieces. Cover; let rise in warm place until light and doubled in size, 35 to 45 minutes.

Heat oven to 400°F. Uncover dough. Bake 13 to 15 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans immediately.

TIPS:
* Rolls can be prepared to this point, covered and refrigerated overnight. Increase second rise time to 1 1/4 hours.
**For a more traditional cloverleaf shape, divide dough into 72 pieces; shape into balls. Place 3 balls in each greased muffin cup. Cover; let rise in warm place until light and doubled in size, 35 to 45 minutes. Bake as directed above.
