MOM'S FRENCH BREAD
Ingredients:
  • 2 1/2 c very warm water
  • 2 Tbs sugar
  • 1 Tbs salt
  • 2 Tbs cooking oil
  • 6 c floud
  • 2 Tbs (2 pkgs) dry yeast
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375. Dissolve yeast in water. Add all but flour and mix with mixer. Add flour until too thick to use mixer and then use your hands (knead in bowl). Use a little more flour than what is asked for...until it does not stick to the side of the bowl anymore. Cover with saran wrap. Let rise for 10 mins. Punch down and recover. Do this 5 times. After 5th punch, spray counter top and hands and dump on counter. Cut into 2 equal parts. Shape into 2 loaves. Slit 3 times with knife on top. Spread mixed egg on top of bread and add seeds. Let rise about 10 mins. Bake at 375 for 25-30 mins or until golden brown.  


ORANGE ROLLS
I believe this recipe started on the Evans side. However, on any given Sunday it could be easily found on the dinner table in any Foote home (any of the Foote homes).
Ingredients:
  • 2 pkgs buttermilk refrigerator biscuits
  • 1 cube butter or margarine
  • 1 cup sugar
  • Orange bits (found in the spice section)
Directions:
  • Preheat over to 375
  • Place biscuits in a cake pan
  • Boil sugar, margarine and orange bits until smooth
  • Spread sugar mixture on biscuits
  • Bake at 375 until brown
**Serve right away. The sugar hardens in the pan when cools.
