Homemade white rolls

Quick and Easy Rolls

I got this recipe from my s-i-l, Tasha, and it is true to it's name! Making these rolls takes far less time than thawing and rising store bought frozen dough. Plus, they are yummy! This is also a very versatile dough recipe, I have also used it to make bread sticks, Cinnamon rolls, and scones.

Rolls

2 cups hot water

2 tablespoons butter

2 packages yeast (2 1/4 teaspoons each packet)

1/2 cup sugar

2 eggs

6 cups flour

2 teaspoons salt

Put 2 cups hot water in a bowl. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in the hot water. Let the water cool until warm. Add 2 packets of yeast, 1/2 cup sugar, and 2 eggs to the water. Mix. Add 4 cups flour and 2 teaspoons salt. Mix. Add 2 cups flour (a little more if needed). knead for 10 min. Let stand to rise for 20 min (double in size). Grease a sheet pan. shape into round balls (make 30, just right to fill a sheet pan). Let rise until they double in size. Bake at 400 degrees for 12 min. (until golden brown on top).

tips: I like to brush with butter right when they come out of the oven.

Don't leave them in the pan after they are done - if you do the steam will make the bottoms doughy.
