Hawaiian Style Smoked Pork Ribs on the Traeger

Hawaiian Pork Rib Rub (Enough for one rack of ribs, double if you have two racks)

3 Tbs. Brown Sugar
2 Tbs. Sweet Paprika (I used regular)
1 tsp. Cumin
1 tsp. Onion Powder
1 tsp. Garlic Powder
1 tsp. Coarse Sea Salt (Hawaiian Sea Salt Preferred)
1/2 tsp. Black Pepper

Combine all ingredients in a small bowl and apply to rack of ribs (be sure to pat dry the ribs first)

Traeger 3-2-1 Method

Preheat Traeger to 180 degrees for 15 minutes.  Add pork ribs, bone side down, straight onto the grill.  Smoke for 3 hours.

After 3 hours remove ribs from the grill and turn heat up to 225 degrees.  Wrap ribs in parchment paper (tightly) and then in foil and return to grill (bone side down) for 2 hours.

After 2 hours remove ribs from grill.  Peel off foil and parchment paper.  Brush ribs with drippings and then with bbq sauce.  Toss out parchment paper and foil and return the ribs back to the grill (bone side down) for 1 hour at 225 degrees and then they are done!

This is a super easy method but it does take about 6 hours.

Mouse's Dinner Rolls

Anything Mouse touches turns to gold!  I don't think I have ever tasted anything she has made that I haven't loved and begged for the recipe.  These rolls are amazing!

Ingredients:
4 cups milk
1 1/4 cup of sugar
1 cup real butter
4 tsp salt
1/2 cup water
4 pckgs rapid rise yeast
4 eggs
About 14 cups of all purpose flour
1/2 cup butter softened

Method:
In Saucepan melt 1 cup butter over low-medium heat.  Once melted add milk, salt, sugar, water.  Stir to blend ingredients.  Heat liquid until scalding.  Remove from heat.  Insert thermometer and watch for temp to cool to 125 degrees.

Meanwhile, in large mixing bowl add 4 cups four, 4 pckgs of yeast and whisk until well blended.  Make a well in the center and set aside.

Prepare pans by lining cookie sheets with foil and butter pans and set aside (you will need about 4 cookie sheets)

When liquid reaches 125 degrees pour into mixxing bowl and whisk until smooth (all yeast should be dissolved and no lumps)  Add 4 eggs and whisk until smooth and well incorporated.  Add 2 more cups of flour mixing with your hands to moisten and well combined.  Continue  adding remaining flour beating to moisten and well combined.  When enough flour is added the dough will not be too sticky, it will form a dough ball.

Sprinkle flour on bread board, remove dough from bowl and knead about 10-15 minutes on the bread board.  Shape into dough ball and place in buttered mixing bowl and cover with a tea towel and allow to rise 1 hour or until or until double in size.  Punch down.  Pinch some dough from the dough ball and shape dough into rolls and place on buttered cookie sheets to rise.  Allow to rise until double in size (about one hour or a little longer)

Bake at 350 for about 15 minutes or until golden brown.  Remove from oven immediately and brush with melted butter
