Yummy Dinner Rolls

Here is my favorite recipe for rolls. I LOVE bread, my downfall, I know. These also make delicious cinnamon rolls.

Combine in a saucepan over low heat just until the butter is almost completely melted:

1 Cup milk
1/3 Cup granulated sugar
1/3 to 1/2 Cup butter, margarine, or shortening (butter's best)
1/2 to 3/4 tsp. salt

In a large bowl mix:

2 Cups all purpose flour
2 pkgs OR 2 scant Tbsp. yeast

Pour milk mix over flour mixture and add two eggs. Beat mixture until smooth and shiny. You can use the bread machine for this but I like to do it by hand, with a spoon, of course.

Add flour one cup at a time until dough is no longer sticky --about 2 1/2 more cups. Turn the dough out on a floured surface and knead until the ball is smooth and elastic. About 5-8 minutes.
Spray a bowl with Pam and put dough in turning once. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 45 minutes. Punch dough down and let rest 10 minutes. Shape into rolls--whichever shape you prefer and cover. Let rise about 20-30 minutes. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Bake rolls for 12-15 minutes. Remove from oven and brush with butter. Yummm! Makes 18-24 rolls.
