Homemade Dinner Rolls

Homemade Dinner Rolls (from It's What's for dinner)

ingredients:
1 c. margarine or butter
3 c. milk
1 c. sugar
1 c. hot water
4 eggs
12 c. flour
4 T. yeast
4 t. salt
and extra butter, softened or melted, and a pastry brush
directions:
combine margarine, milk, sugar, and water. Heat in microwave until warm (about 4 min.). Using a mixer with a hook, start mixing. Add half of flour and all of your eggs. Mix well. Add yeast and salt; continue mixing. Add remaining flour. When mixed in, turn speed to high and let knead for 8 minutes. When finished mixing, turn out onto floured surface and divide into 4-5 balls. Roll first ball into a circle the size of a pizza. Spread evenly with softened or melted butter. Using a pizza cutter, cut circle into 10-12 wedges. Roll from wide end to shape into a croissant. Place on greased baking sheet. Repeat with the rest of dough. Let raise about 30-40 minutes (she suggests to raise on top of your preheated oven, covered with a Pam-sprayed layer of plastic wrap. You can also put your baking sheet in to a garbage bag- that's a baker's tip:) Bake at 375 degrees for 10-12 minutes or until rolls are golden brown. Rub top with butter while still hot. makes 40 servings.


I made these for my family on Sunday and I cut the recipe in half and ended up with 35 rolls. I guess it depends on how thick you roll them out and the size of the balls. Everybody in my family loves these and they are easy to make. If it is just the 3 of us I cut the recipe in 4ths.
