Ingredients

2 teaspoons sugar
1 package dry yeast (about 2 1/4 teaspoons)
1 (12-ounce) can evaporated fat-free milk, warmed (100° to 110°)

Directions

1

["Dissolve sugar and yeast in warm milk in a large bowl; let stand 5 minutes.", "Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Add 3 cups flour and egg to milk mixture, stirring until smooth; cover and let stand 15 minutes.", "Add 3/4 cup flour and salt; stir until a soft dough forms. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Knead until smooth and elastic (about 8 minutes); add enough of the remaining flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, to prevent the dough from sticking to hands (dough will feel tacky).", "Place the dough in a large bowl coated with cooking spray, turning to coat top. Cover and let rise in a warm place (85\u00b0), free from drafts, for 40 minutes or until doubled in size. (Press two fingers into the dough. If an indentation remains, the dough has risen enough.) Punch dough down; cover and let rest for 5 minutes.", "Divide dough into 16 equal portions. Working with one portion at a time (cover remaining dough to prevent drying), shape each portion into desired form (see \"Shaping Options\""). Place shaped dough portions on each of 2 baking sheets lightly sprinkled with 1/2 teaspoon cornmeal. Lightly coat shaped dough portions with cooking spray; cover with plastic wrap. Let rise in a warm place (85\u00b0)
