Moms Rolls
4 cups flour 2 eggs
1/3 cup sugar 1 cup milk
2 Tbsp yeast 1/2 cup melted butter
1 tsp salt 1/2 cup water
Place milk, butter and water in a sauce pan and heat until about 110 degrees. (Hot enough to be able to put your finger in but not leave it there too long).
Place eggs in a bowl and whisk. Add milk mixture sugar and salt, mix and then add the yeast. Add flour 1 cup at a time mixing thoroughly. Sprinkle the counter with 1/4 - 1/2 cup of flour. Knead for 5 minutes, adding flour as needed. The dough should be a bit sticky. Too much flour makes for tough, dry rolls.
Pour a small amount of oil into a bowl, add the dough, coat the dough by turning it over in the oil. Cover and let rise one hour or until double.
Divide dough into 4 balls. Lightly grease cookie sheets. Roll the dough to form a circle, cut into 8 wedges and roll up.
Cover and rise again for about 45 minutes. Bake at 425 for 8-10 minutes. Butter rolls when they are out of the oven.
FYI - the whole 'don't add too much flour' part is really important. Mine should have been much stickier, apparently. I'm pretty sure only the ducks enjoyed my rolls this time. :)
