Introduction
Did you know that the drawer under your stove has a specific purpose? Many people assume it's just extra storage for pots and pans, but in reality, it serves a more functional role. Depending on the type of stove you have, this drawer could be a warming drawer, broiler, or traditional storage space. In this article, we'll dive into what your stove drawer is really for and how you can use it effectively. Plus, we'll include some simple recipes that take advantage of this overlooked kitchen feature!
Ingredients:
For a simple oven-warmed dinner roll recipe using a warming drawer:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 packet (2 ¼ tsp) active dry yeast
¾ cup warm milk
2 tbsp sugar
3 tbsp melted butter
½ tsp salt
Directions:
Prepare the Dough: In a bowl, mix warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes until it becomes foamy.
Mix Ingredients: Add melted butter, salt, and flour. Knead the dough until smooth, then let it rise for about an hour.
Shape the Rolls: Divide the dough into small balls and place them on a baking sheet. Let them rise again for 30 minutes.
Use the Warming Drawer: Instead of preheating your oven, place the rolls in the warming drawer at a low setting (about 150°F). Let them rise further for 15-20 minutes.
Bake: Transfer to a preheated oven at 375°F and bake for 15 minutes until golden brown.
Enjoy! Serve warm with butter or honey.
Serving and Storage Tips:
These dinner rolls taste best when served warm. If using a warming drawer, keep them at a low temperature to maintain freshness.
Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To reheat, pop them back in the warming drawer for 5 minutes!
