• Combine brown sugar and yeast in a mixing bowl. Add warm water and stir with a fork.
• Add in the egg and salt.
• Slowly add one cup of flour at a time until mixture is too stiff to mix with fork. The dough should have a shaggy appearance.
• Transfer the dough to a floured surface by lifting it from the bowl. Knead dough for 4-5min until it has a smooth appearance. Add a tablespoon of flour at a time until the dough is no longer sticky. The recipe says 3 cups but it usually ends up being 3 ⅓ cups.
• Smooth the dough into a ball and place in the center of the mixing bowl. Cover with a towel and let it rise in a warm spot for one hour. The dough should double within an hour or less.
• Follow the instructions below depending on your intended product:

Sandwhich Loaf Bread:

• Press down the center of the dough after the first rise. Pick up the dough and shape into a small log. Grease a standard 9″x5″ loaf pan and place the dough in the middle. Allow the dough to endure a second rise for 30min or until it begins to peak over the top of the loaf pan. Bake in a 350° oven for 25-30min or until golden brown.

Pizza Crust:

• Preheat oven to 450° and place a pizza stone in to preheat. Grease the center of a piece of parchement paper. Press the dough into a 12-inch circle. Roll thin if you would like thin or regular crust; roll the edges of the circle for thick crust. Layer pizza sauce, cheese, and toppings. Bake for 15-20min or until crust is golden and cheese is bubbly.

Dinner Rolls:

• Divide the dough into 15 sections after the first rise. Round each piece into smooth balls and place on a greased 9x13-inch pan. Cover with a towel and allow them to rise for 25min in a warm place. Bake in a 375° oven for 15-25min or until golden brown on top. Serve warm or top with a garlic butter sauce!

Cinnamon Rolls:

• When the dough has doubled, press down the center and form a rectangle on a floured surface. Carefully spread half a stick of butter on the dough leaving a ½ inch margin around the edges. Mix ½ cup brown sugar with 2 tablespoons of cinnamon and sprinkle on the butter. Roll the dough from the longest side of the rectangle until it meets the edge. Pinch the dough along the edge to seal the roll. Cut the roll into 1" rounds using a serrated knife. Arrange the rolls on a 9x13" pan and let rise for 30min. Bake in a 350° oven for 25min. To add icing: combining powdered sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract and milk. Pour on top of the warm rolls and enjoy!
