Homemade Rolls

The Best Homemade Roll Recipe

Combine in bowl:

2 pkg. Instant Yeast ( approx. 2 T)
2 T. Sugar
1 C. Warm Water

In a large bowl combine:

2/3 C. Sugar
1 1/2 t. Salt
1 C. Hot Water
5 T. Melted Butter
2 Eggs ( whip in a little bowl first)- Be careful not to add the eggs to fast or they will scramble!

Add yeast mixture. Then add:

5-6 C Flour

In a small bowl melt:

1/2 C. Butter

Mix the dough with a spoon until it becomes too hard. Then knead with hands. The dough should have enough flour in it that it doesn't stick to your hand, however this dough does not require a lot of kneading so it will be a little bit sticky, but should still spring back when touched. Oil your hands and gather the dough into a ball. Flour counter. Roll out the dough to be about 2 inches thick. I use a cup to cut out each roll, but you can use whatever you have that is circular. After you have cut each roll out, take each roll and stretch it to make an oval, then dip your hands into the melted butter and line the middle of the roll. Then fold the roll in half. Place on greased cookie sheet about an inch apart. Rise for 1-2 hours. Bake at 400 degrees for 10-12 min. After the rolls come out of the oven I brush them with more melted butter.

I learned this recipe when I was in high school from a good friend of mine. I love this recipe so much I will never use another! It also brings back great memories every time I make it!
