The recipe comes from a fellow blogger with a few tweaks to meet my my desired result. Let me tell you, THESE ARE AMAZING and I have had a hard time keeping my husband out of them. one batch of dough makes two dozen rolls. These will definitely make repeat appearances and are perfect for holidays, dinners, and just because!
Ingredients:
2 tablespoon yeast
1 cup lukewarm water
1/2-3/4 cup sugar (depending how sweet you want, 1/2=lightly sweet)
2 eggs
3 tablespoons oil
2 teaspoons salt
6 ounces warm milk (just over 2/3 cup)
6 ounces boiling water (just over 2/3 cup)
6-7 cups flour
1/2 cup melted butter
Direction:
Dissolve yeast in 1 cup lukewarm water. Add next 5 ingredients. Mix together. Add 2 cups flours and stir. Add boiling water a little at a time, stirring constantly. Then add remaining flour, 4-5 cups.
Knead dough until it forms a ball, about 5-6 minutes. Put in a greased bowl and cover with a wet towel until double in size, about 1 hour to 1 1/2 hours.

Raise until almost double, about 30-40 minutes.
Bake at 375 degrees F for about 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
