1 cup warm water
1 pkg (2 1/2 tsp) active dry yeast OR 2 tsp instant yeast
1/4 cup sugar
1 tsp salt
3 TBS softened butter
1 egg, beaten
3 1/2 - 4 cups all-purpose flour
Put water and yeast in mixer .
Add sugar, salt, butter, and egg.
Beat with dough hook until well blended.
Add 3 1/2 - 4 cups flour and mix in mixer for about 5 minutes
until a soft dough forms...
Should be soft but NOT sticky.
Place dough in a greased (or sprayed) bowl; cover with plastic wrap,
and allow to rise in a warm place 45 minutes.
Remove dough to a flat surface sprayed lightly with cooking spray.
Gently roll to form about a 12 inch log.
Cut log in half, then cut each half into 6-8 pieces. (12 - 16 altogether)
(I prefer making larger rolls, so 12 pieces)
Shape each piece into a ball pinching closed at the bottom.
Place smooth side up in a greased (or sprayed) 13" X 9" baking dish.
Cover and let rise again for about 30 minutes.
Bake at 350 for 17 to 20 minutes.
Brush tops of rolls with butter.
Recipe is easily doubled.
