![]() Take a piece of dough and roll it out for coffee cake. Just by pinching off pieces of dough and rolling in your hands you can have homemade dinner rolls. I’ve tried to show the different ways this recipe works and why it’s such a keeper. ![]() There’s nothing like the hustle and bustle of a kitchen! It gives them the idea that they can do it too and maybe through a little osmosis they will develop a love for home cooking. Whether you’re teaching or not, just cooking with the kids close by is a great lesson. But even better, they could learn from their mom in the kitchen. Yes, the kids had chores, and I think this freed up some time for grandma to be in the kitchen and at the same time monitor the kids’ work. So the big Saturday bake was getting ready to feed the family for the week and any possible guests that stopped by on the weekend. The Sunday lunch was finished, dishes cleaned, kitchen floor swept, and it was off to grandma’s house. ![]() It was a special time set apart from the workweek for visiting friends and families. Don’t you love hearing the words ‘went to visit’? Not only does it have a nostalgic ring to it but the Sunday afternoon visit carried a certain sacredness to it. Sundays were no-work days, and you went to visit. I’m sure there are a number of reasons why Saturdays were the chosen day to bake, but I have a couple of my own.

By large bake, I mean enough bread, coffee cake, and rolls to last most of the week. The fact that it can be mixed and refrigerated for 4-5 days and used when ready was just perfect for a generation that had days set apart for baking.įor my grandmothers’ generation, the day was Saturday and this tradition carried into my mom’s generation. What could be better than a recipe that’s been handed down through generations? Grandma’s Refrigerator Dough fits that bill and to this day is used by my extended family.
