Dinner Rolls

Contributor: LeRose Peterson
2002 Cowley Cookbook

1 yeast in 1 cup warm water
1/2 cup sugar
1 T salt

Stir together and let sit until yeast softens.

2 cups milk, scalded and cooled
1 stick margarine, melted
3 eggs, slightly beaten

Add the milk and melted margarine to the yeast mixture and add flour to make a soft dough, approximately 5 to 6 cups. Knead until it is a smooth dough, soft but not too sticky to work. Cover with a clean warm damp cloth and let rise for about 2 hours. Turn dough onto a floured surface, pat dough to 1/2 inch thick circle, and cut into Parker house rolls or form into balls and place on greased pans. Let rise for about 1 hour. Bake in a preheated oven 350 degrees, for approximately 30 minutes, or until golden brown. This dough can be used to make cinnamon rolls.
