&nbsp;I just figured that if I introduce a&nbsp;<a href="http://cheftessbakeresse.blogspot.com/2011/11/5-day-sweet-roll-dough.html" style="background-color: white; color: #193964; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;">5 day Sweet Roll Dough</a>&nbsp;like I did this week, I dang well better also show at least 5 new ways to make rolls, right?! Well, I did in my dinner roll class on Tuesday, but I know there are people all over the country and globe who read the blog and well...it's not your fault you couldn't make it to the class. &nbsp;So here we go. In a roll marathon! Hopefully it gives you a lot of new ideas! Let your brain just soak it up. We're going to play.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>First a Windmill.</b> Take 1/5th of the dough and roll it in a rectangle on a lightly floured counter top or board. It should measure approximately &nbsp;15 inches by 9 inches. It will make 15 small pin-wheels if you cut it into 3 inch squares. &nbsp;Cut a&nbsp;notch into the squares like this. &nbsp;It will look like 4 triangles stuck together if you do it right.&nbsp;</div>

&nbsp;Alternate windmill by going around the dough and pinching 4 corners in the middle of the square.

&nbsp;Transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or oiled well. Allow to raise 45 minutes to an hour. With your thumb, poke a hole in the middle of the roll and then dot with 1T pie filling or pastry filling of your choice. I gave a lot of great recipes for filling in the &nbsp;<a href="http://cheftessbakeresse.blogspot.com/2011/11/honeyville-farms-pie-class-notes-and.html">Pie Class Notes</a>. Top with a light sprinkle of...

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">Combine all ingredients and &nbsp;mix with a fork until crumble topping is formed. Use as Streusel topping for pies, muffins and baked goods.</span></div>


Bake 350 degrees 20-25 minutes. Remove from oven. I top with a light fruit glaze to get a nice shine. To do so, melt 1/2 cup apricot jelly with 2T water over a stove until liquid. With a pastry brush, apply warm glaze over rolls.

This next roll is actually a pretty classic design called a <b>Flemish fruit square</b>. You basically make that same square you used for the windmill, but tuck the corners in to the center instead of cutting a notch.

&nbsp;Easy stuff.

&nbsp;Transfer to a baking sheet, giving 1-2 inches space between rolls. Allow to raise on hour. Add a Tablespoon of filling in the center of the roll just before baking. Top with a little struesel and bake 350 degrees 20-25 minutes.&nbsp;I paint the hot rolls with a light fruit glaze to get a nice shine. To do so, melt 1/2 cup apricot jelly with 2T water over a stove until liquid. With a pastry brush, apply warm glaze over rolls. &nbsp;You may frost them if desired.

&nbsp;For twisted Danish. Take 1/5 dough and roll into a rectangle 12 inches by 8 inches. Lightly spread a thin layer of butter and spiced sugar on the dough. Cut into 1 inch strips for small danish or 2 inch strips for larger Danish.
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

&nbsp;Twist the strip with your hand and roll into a snail design on the pan. Like so...

&nbsp;Allow to raise 1 hour. Top with a Tablespoon of filling or just a cherry. Bake 230 degrees 20-25 minutes. Remove from oven and glaze or frost as &nbsp;desired.

<b>Fan Rolls:</b>
<a href="http://cheftessbakeresse.blogspot.com/2008/11/it-starts-with-dream.html" style="background-color: white; color: #193964; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">5 Day Bread Dough</a>&nbsp;or the&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="http://cheftessbakeresse.blogspot.com/2011/11/5-day-sweet-roll-dough.html" style="background-color: white; color: #193964; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">5 day Sweet Roll Dough</a>&nbsp;can also be used with herbs to make fan rolls. Now if you haven't seen a fan roll, It's basically a pull apart roll. Here's what they look like before baking. It appears I forgot to take a picture of the finished rolls. How odd.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Roll out 1/5 the dough into a 12 inch by 8 inch rectangle. Spread with 1/4 cup of soft butter and sprinkle with an herb blend of your choice. I love these with dill and onion. Very much. Too much.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

&nbsp;Cut the dough into 2 inch (4 across the 8 inch&nbsp;length).

&nbsp;Stack the strips.

&nbsp;Cut into 12 one inch rolls and place in a well greased muffin pan.

&nbsp;Allow to raise until double and bake 350 degrees 20-25 minutes. Serve warm.

Last but not least...<b>Salted Sweet Rolls.</b>
These are by and far my favorite way to have the sweet roll dough. Divide 1/5 of the dough into 12 rolls and roll into balls. Place in a well oiled muffin tin and allow to raise about an hour. Whisk one egg with a pinch of salt and lightly "paint" the tops of the rolls with the egg wash. Sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt.
