How about making a bread mix that you can store in the freezer??  When you 
want to use it, take it out, let it thaw and complete another recipe.  Here 
are a couple of interesting recipes using this technique ... do you have 
some to share using this technique??  I would love to have the recipes!!

     2      Pkg          Active Baker's Yeast
     2      C             skim milk

     2      Tsps          salt

     5 1/2  C             All-Purpose Flour -- Unbleached

CAN USE THIS RECIPE in conjunction with Lemon Sticky Buns recipe.

In a mixing bowl, combine 2 1/2 cups flour and yeast.  In a saucepan, heat 
milk, margarine, sugar, and salt just until warm (115 to 120F), stirring 
constantly until margarine almost melts.

Add liquid to dry ingredients in mixing bowl along with egg whites.  Beat 
at low speed for 1/2 minute, scraping sides of bowl constantly.  Beat 3 
minutes at high speed.

Stir in remaining flour as you can mix in with a spoon.  Turn out onto a 
lightly floured surface.  Knead in enough flour to make a stiff dough that 
is smooth and elastic (6 to 8 minutes total).

Divide dough into thirds.  Shape each of 2 portions into loaves.  Store in 
freezer container with a double thickness of waxed paper between.

Divide remaining dough into 16 balls.  Arrange balls 1" apart in a freezer 
container.

This makes 2 loaves and 16 balls.

USE THE Freezer Bread Dough Recipe in addition to this recipe.

* Let dough thaw at room temperature about 1 1/2 hours. Immediately loosen 
sides and turn onto wire rack placed atop waxed paper to catch drippings.

In a saucepan, combine 1/2 cup sugar, corn syrup, spread, lemon peel, lemon 
juice. Cook and stir just until sugar dissolves and mixture boils. Pour 
into prepared 13 x 9" pan.

On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to 16 x 8" rectangle. Brush with 2 
tablespoons spread.

In a mixing bowl, combine remaining sugar, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Sprinkle 
over dough.

Beginning with long side, roll up jelly-roll fashion and seal edge. Cut 
into 16-1" slices. Place, cut side down, atop sugar mixture in pan. Cover 
and let rise in a warm place until nearly double in size (30 to 45 
minutes). Bake in 375F oven for 25 minutes.
