Dinner Rolls

This was the recipe my Mom always made growing up, so now this is the recipe I make as an adult.

Combine
1 yeast cake (2 1/4 tsp)
1/4 C. warm water
1 T. white sugar

In a separate bowl beat
3 eggs
1/2 C. sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 C. melted butter

After yeast is bubbly, combine both bowls.

Add
1 C. water
4 1/2 C. white flour

Mix well with large spoon

Turn out on floured surface.  Knead and add a little flour at a time until the dough is no longer sticky.

Prepare a large clean bowl by spraying with pam.  Place dough in the bowl.  Cover with saran covered with pam.

Allow to double in size.

Punch down and fix the way that you want to (ie: regular rolls, crescent rolls, etc).  When fixed the way you want, dip each roll in melted butter and place on a tray to rise a 2nd time.

Allow to raise until doubled again.

Bake at 375 for 12 min.

When the rolls come out of the oven, brush the tops with butter.

For sweet rolls add an extra 1/4 to 1/2 C. extra sugar.

(If making crescent rolls then 1 batch should be split into 2 balls before rolling out.  1 batch makes 24 LARGE crescent rolls.)
