Dinner Rolls

Recipe for: Dinner Rolls
From: Melissa Thomas

1 c. warm water
1 Tbsp. yeast
1/2 c. sugar
1/2 c. melted margarine or butter
3 eggs, beaten well
3/4 tsp. salt
4 c. flour

Dissolve yeast in water. Add 1 tsp. sugar to proof the yeast (not part of the 1/2 c. sugar shown above). Combine melted butter, sugar, salt and eggs in a large bowl. Mix well (can mix by hand) – pour in yeast and flour, mix together well. Dough will be very sticky and soft – don’t knead it or mix too much, and don’t add more flour. Let dough rise in a covered, greased bowl for 3 to 4 hours. Roll out 1/2 at a time. (It’s ok to add enough flour at this point to keep the dough from getting sticky, but only add enough to make it workable.) Cut triangles with a pizza cutter (as though cutting a pizza). Roll up, starting at wide end and rolling toward the point. Bake at 350 for 7 or 8 minutes (or until lightly browned). I spread melted butter on top when the rolls come out of the oven for extra flavor.
