Ingredients:  
1 package dry yeast (2 tbsp.)
2 c. water (luke warm, app. 100 degrees)

Directions:
Mix yeast and water. Let rest for 5 minutes. Add sugar, salt, and oil; mix well. Add flour until well blended. Let rise for 1 1/2 to 2 hours in a warm place. Punch down on lightly floured surface.
Shape into 2 loaves or about 30 to 36 rolls.
You can also make larger rolls for sandwich buns. Let rise again until double in size.

Bake at 350 degrees until brown.

This dough will keep in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 days, using as needed. It can be made up the night before baking. Place in refrigerator overnight to rise. 2 to 2 1/2 hours before baking, shape into desired shape and let rise. The cold dough will take over twice as long to rise after shaping as the freshly made dough.
Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
For many years, Nelle greeted Fifth Creek's Christmas Caroler's with cookies, snack, drinks, and hot fresh bread and butter. It was always a highlight of the season. Nelle was James Bobbitt's aunt she lived to be 100 years young. We lost her a couple of years ago. She was well know for her baking skills.
