Directions:Sprinkle yeast into warm water in a large warm bowl; stir until dissolved. Add milk, sugar, salt, ⅓ cup butter or margarine, eggs, and half the flour. Beat with wooden spoon about 1 minute or until smooth; then beat vigorously 150 strokes, scraping sides of bowl occasionally. Gradually stir in remaining flour.
Turn out on floured board, round up into ball. Knead 5 to 10 minutes or until dough is light, elastic, smooth and no longer sticky. Cover and let rise 20 minutes in a warm place. Punch down; divide into 3 equal portions. Roll each portion into a circle about 12-inches in diameter, spread each with softened butter. Cut each into 12 pie shaped wedges. Start rolling at wide end and roll toward point. Place on greased baking sheets, point side down. Brush with melted butter. Cover, let rise in refrigerator 2 to 24 hours. When ready to bake, uncover and allow to stand at room temperature while oven preheats (at least 10 minutes). Puncture any surface bubbles, bake in preheated oven 375º about 20 minutes or until lightly browned. Serve warm. Makes 3 dozen rolls.
Note: For brown and serve rolls, under bake by about 5 minutes. Finish baking at serving time. |
