Ingredients

• 4 cups sugar
• 2 sticks butter, 1 cup
• 2 cups white corn syrup
• 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
• 2 12 oz. cans evaporated milk

Instructions

1. Melt the sugar, butter, corn syrup, and salt together in a large, heavy-bottomed sauce pan over medium heat.
2. Once the mixture comes to a boil, add the evaporated milk a little at a time, taking 15 minutes per can and stirring constantly. A labor of love indeed.
3. Once all the milk is added use a candy thermometer and bring the mixture to 238F and not a touch hotter! Even 2 degrees hotter will make them chewy instead of soft.
4. Pour into a parchment lined 13x9 pan and cool completely. Cut and serve. Enjoy!

#desserts #dessertrecipes #desserttable #dessertfoodrecipes

#dinner #easydinnerrecipe #chickenrecipes #recipeoftheday #chicken #chickenfoodrecipes #chickenhouses #chickendinner #healthyrecipes #healthyfood #healthyeating #recipeseasy #popular #women

Ingredients

• 2 ¼ teaspoon Active Dry Yeast or 1 packet
• 1 ¼ cup Milk
• ¼ cup Honey
• 4 Tablespoons melted Butter, separated
• 1 large Egg at room temperature
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 4 cups Flour

Instructions

1. Bring the milk to a boil. Remove it from heat and let it reduce lukewarm.
2. Mix the milk, yeast, and honey in a small bowl until well combined. Let it sit for 5 minutes.
3. In a large bowl, mix 3 tablespoons of the butter, the milk mixture, the room temperature egg, and 2 cups of flour. Mix slowly until smooth. (Use a mixer with a dough hook if you have one, otherwise it works by hand.) Gradually add the remaining 2 cups of flour and mix until a dough has formed.
4. Add salt, and mix/knead for 8 minutes. Then drop the dough onto a floured surface and knead for a few more minutes.
5. Spray a large bowl with cooking spray and drop the dough inside. Cover the bowl (plastic wrap or a damp cloth works) and let it rise for an hour in a warm place.
6. Spray 2 cookie sheets with vegetable oil. Punch down the dough and roll it out on a flat, floured surface until it’s about ½ inch thick. Fold it in half and gently seal.
7. Cut into 24 squares of even size and place on the cookie sheets. Cover them and let them rise for about 40 minutes, until doubled in size.
8. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the top is a light golden brown.
9. Melt the remaining tablespoon of butter and brush the top of the rolls.
10. Serve with Copycat Texas Roadhouse Butter.

Chicken Pizza Rolls Recipe

#desserts #dessertrecipes #desserttable #dessertfoodrecipes

#dinner #easydinnerrecipe #chickenrecipes #recipeoftheday #chicken #chickenfoodrecipes #chickenhouses #chickendinner #healthyrecipes #healthyfood #healthyeating #recipeseasy #popular

Ingredients

• 1 pound fresh, frozen or refrigerated pizza dough, thawed
• 1/2 cup sweet BBQ sauce, plus extra for serving
• 1 1/4 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese, divided
• 1 cup finely chopped cooked chicken (rotisserie, poached, etc)
• 3 tablespoons finely chopped red onion
• 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, optional
• 3 slices bacon, cooked crisp, drained and finely chopped (optional)
• chopped fresh parsley leaves for garnish
• 1 teaspoon vegetable oil for greasing the pan, plus more for oiling the bowl

Instructions

1. If frozen, follow instructions for thawing your pizza dough. If using refrigerated dough, place in a well oiled bowl, cover and allow to come to room temperature, 1 to 2 hours.
2. Lightly oil a large 9 or 10-inch round skillet or baking pan. Cast iron skillets work well for pizza. Set aside.
3. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly flour a clean work surface and roll out the room temperature pizza dough to an 18x10-inch rectangle. If the dough springs back and won’t hold it’s shape, let it rest an additional 5 minutes, then roll again. Spread the BBQ sauce over the surface of the dough leaving a 1/2-inch border all around the edges.
4. Sprinkle 1 cup of the mozzarella cheese evenly across the surface of the dough, then top with the chicken, onion, red pepper flakes and bacon, if using.
5. Starting on the long side, roll the dough away from you into a tight cylinder, tucking and pulling just a bit as you go. Pinch the seams together to seal. Cut into 8 equal slices and place cut side down in the prepared pan. When cutting try using dental floss instead of a knife. It works amazingly well!
6. Bake for 25 minutes in a preheated 400 degree F oven. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese on top and continue baking for another 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
7. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately with additional BBQ sauce for dipping.
