Dinner Rolls

This is my Mother in Law's recipe for dinner rolls - they are simply amazing.  I make them for all special occasions and sometimes just for a regular dinner for fun!  They take a lot of time to rise and knead so I make them on days that I know I'll be preparing dinner in 10 minute increments throughout the day anyhow!

Ingredients:

• 1 cup warm water
• 1 package of yeast
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 tsp salt
• scant 4 Tablespoons of olive oil (I always feel that 4 is too high so I usually use closer to 3)
• 1 egg
• 6-7 cups flour

How To:

• Dissolve yeast in water (let it sit for a few minutes).
• Add sugar.
• Mix in salt, oil and egg.
• Add flour to make a thick dough.
• Knead for about 5 minutes.
• Place in an oiled bowl for an hour or more - until doubled.
• Punch the dough down and knead for 3 more minutes.
• Roll into 2 inch balls and let rise on oiled baking pan.
• Let rise until doubled (about 45 minutes - 1 hour).
• Bake at 400 degrees for 10-12 minutes, until golden brown.

Enjoy!
