Tried and true bread/roll recipes?

While in Helen, GA yesterday, I watched a traditional wooden bowl carver make a beautiful (and expensive) dough bowl. So when I got home, I found my old dough bowl (machine made and cost only $40, found in an antique shop years ago), washed it off, vegetable oiled it up, and put up the wooden apples I had displayed in it. I plan on making it useful again.
Does anyone have a good homemade bread or roll recipe they would like to share? I know I could probably find one in my cookbooks, but I would rather try one that someone here has tried and liked. Thanks all.....

Thanks Loreli for the recipe. Sounds like one I'll have to try (if the beer makes it into the bread, that is.. )

One of my favorites.  
Angel Biscuits
Ingredients
* 1 pkg. active dry yeast
* 1/4 c. warm water
* 2 Tblsp. sugar
* 3 c. unsifted flour
* 1 Tblsp. baking powder
* 1/2 tsp. salt
* 1/2 c.(1 stick) butter
* 3/4 c. milk
Directions
1. In small bowl, sprinkle yeast over water. Stir in sugar and set aside until mixture is foamy-about 10 min.
2. In medium size bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt. With pastry blender or 2 knifes, cut in butter till mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add yeast mixture and milk, mix lightly with fork until well combined.
3. Cover dough with clean cloth and let it rise in a warm place, until double in size-30 minutes.
4. Grease large baking dish. On lightly floured surface, roll out dough to 1/2 inch thickness. With 3 inch round cutter, cut out 12 biscuits. Place on greased baking dish. Pierce biscuits lightly a few times with fork.
5. Let biscuits rise in warm place for 45 min.
6. Heat oven to 375 degrees
7. Bake 15-18 minutes or until golden brown.
8. ~Enjoy~
I have slipped the first rising...just letting the dough rest of about 10 minutes, shaped them into rolls by hand, rise for about 30 minutes and bake.

Daisy, self-rising flour already has salt in it.

Oh yummy, Loreli, I'm going to try your recipe for dinner!
I've used that same Angel Biscuits recipe for years. You can cut the biscuits and freeze them for use later and they are just as good as when made immediately.

Mom, I just foiund 8 packages of yeast in my cupboard and decided to make these buscuits because they sound easy to make and no kneading. They also sound yummy!  Thanks for the recipe.

I had some trouble getting them to raise, Mom. I even added more yeast and they still barely raised. Then I put them in a baking pan and they rose just enough to bake. Is there a special flour you use, Mom? I used whole wheat and I thought maybe it was the wrong flour. Also, it was a cold day and the dough might not have been warm enough. I'll try the recipe again and use white flour next time.

yeast was either too old... or the room temp was too cold...
btw..a too fast rise...imparts a strange taste...as yeast feeds on sugar..and creates alcohol and CO2 in the process....
and...
>>Why doesn’t my bread rise very well?
Well the answer to this question has a few different possibilities. One is expectation! If you have done a lot of baking with white flour you will feel your whole wheat bread is not rising well. In fact, whole wheat breads don’t rise as much due to the lack of gluten in the flour.
Adding gluten flour to your bread will help this. If you have used or read my bread recipe you will see I add gluten flour to my bread in order to get it to rise better. About 1/3 cup of gluten flour added to any 2 loaf whole wheat bread recipe should show an improvement.
Another possibility with bread not rising well is our dated or improperly stored yeast. Check to make sure your yeast is good. You can do a simple check by putting a teaspoon of yeast into a small bowl, add a pinch of sugar and a couple of tablespoons of very warm water, mix and wait a few minutes. The mixture should bubble and foam. If it does not, it may be too old. Make sure you store your yeast in the fridge or freezer to keep it fresh.
Kneading is another problem, or lack of kneading I should say. If you don’t knead the bread enough it will not rise well. You should knead your bread, a 12 to 15 minutes by hand, 7 to 10 minutes with a Kitchen aid type mixer or 4 to 5 minutes with a Bosch type mixer.
Using the wrong whole wheat flour can also cause bread rising difficulties. Make sure you are using whole wheat BREAD flour. This may also be called “hard winter wheat”, or “hard red wheat” or “Hard white wheat”. The other type of whole wheat flour is “soft white wheat”, a.k.a., “pastry flour”. This does not have the protein needed to develop the gluten and therefore your bread won’t do as well with this type of flour. Save your pastry flour for quick breads, it does beautifully with those.

yeast was either too old... or the room temp was too cold... Yeast was still good but I hadn't kept it in fridge. I'll do that next time I buy yeast. Thanks for the advice GH, I'll try the one to test yeast to see if it's fresh.....haven't done that before but it makes sense.
