Delicious Dinner Rolls

Ingredients

1-1/2 cups of milk

3/4 cup of sugar

1/2 cup of butter

2 Tablespoons yeast

1 Tablespoon sugar

2 cups warm water

1 egg

1 Tablespoon salt

9-10 cups of flour

1/4 cup of butter melted

Directions

Scald milk, sugar, and butter in a microwave safe bowl for about 3 minutes then let cool. Meanwhile, dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water. Let it sit for a couple of minutes until it is bubbly. When milk mixture has cooled off sufficiently, combine with the yeast mixture, egg, and salt. Using a wooden spoon, gradually stir in flour, 2-3 cups at a time.  Be careful not to add too much flour or the rolls will be dense. The dough should be slightly sticky and elastic. Smooth the dough out and cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Then leave it in a warm place to rise for about 30 minutes.

Cover your working space with flour to prevent dough from sticking. Dump your dough out and divide it into 4 balls. Try to make them even, but they don’t have to be perfect.  Spray rolling pin with cooking spray or cover in flour and roll out 1 ball at a time. Roll dough into a circle, and spread with butter from edge to edge. Cut dough into quarters using a pizza cutter. Then cut each quarter into 3 pieces. You should end up with 12 triangles from each circle of dough. Roll each triangle starting with the wide end. Tuck the tail of the triangle under the roll and place it on a greased cookie sheet. You will make 3 rows, with 8 rolls per row. This will give you 24 rolls per pan. Two balls of dough will fill one pan. You will get a total of 48 rolls!

Pre-heat your oven to 350F degrees. Place the pans of rolls in a warm place to rise for another 30 minutes. Once they are touching and full in size, cook them in the oven until they are golden brown, about 10-15 minutes. While they are still hot and fresh out of the oven run stick of butter over the tops of the rolls for a delicious buttery glaze.
