45 130 175

Ingredients

1-1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
3/4 cup warm water (110° to 115°)
1-1/2 teaspoons sugar
2 tablespoons butter, softened
2 tablespoons nonfat dry milk powder
1 egg
1 teaspoon salt
2-1/2 to 3 cups all-purpose flour
1 egg white
1 teaspoon cold water
1 tablespoon rye flour
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
1/2 teaspoon caraway seeds
VENISON BARBECUE:
1 venison roast (3 to 4 pounds)
1 cup water
1/2 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons onion soup mix
2 teaspoons prepared horseradish
1/2 teaspoon each garlic powder, dried oregano and pepper
3 teaspoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon cold water

Directions

In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add sugar; let stand for 5 minutes. Beat in butter, milk powder, egg, salt and enough all-purpose flour to form a soft dough.
Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 4-6 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 40 minutes.
Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide into 12 pieces. Shape into 2-1/2-in. circles. Place 2 in. apart on greased baking sheets. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 20-25 minutes.
Beat egg white and cold water; brush over dough. Combine rye flour, coarse salt and caraway seeds; sprinkle over rolls. Bake at 425° for 9-12 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to wire racks.
Place the venison roast in a Dutch oven. In a small bowl, combine the water, ketchup, soup mix, horseradish and seasonings; pour over roast. Cover and bake at 325° for 2-3 hours or until meat is tender, turning once.
Remove roast; let stand for 10 minutes. Shred meat with two forks; keep warm. Combine cornstarch and cold water until smooth; stir into pan drippings until blended. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Return meat to the pan; heat through. Split rolls. Serve meat and gravy on rolls. Yield: 12 sandwiches.
