Yield: 24 rolls

1 cup water (110 degrees F)
2 packages yeast (Do not use the quick rising in this recipe)
1/2 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup sugar
3 eggs
1 teaspoon salt
4 1/4 cups flour

Directions:

1. Combine water and yeast in lg bowl; let stand for 5 minutes.
2. With wooden spoon, stir in butter, sugar, eggs and salt.
3. Add flour, 1 cup at a time and beat in as much as you can.
4.  (you will probably be able to use all the flour) Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to 3 days.
5. Grease a 13x9 baking pan.
6. Turn dough out onto floured surface.
7. Divide into 24 equal pieces.
8. Roll each piece into a smooth round ball.
9. Place in rows in prepared pan.
10. Cover and let rise for 1 hour; until doubled.
11. Heat oven to 375*.
12. Bake until golden brown, about 17 minutes.

The dough is very soft and sticky.

After rising for 2+ hours in the fridge. Notice it isn't nice and smooth and elastic-y.

I tricked him into eating more dinner by telling him that I would take pictures of him eating :)

Ben asked if I wanted him to take the picture so I could proudly show off my rolls.... And, that is a pretty decent shot of our sad kitchen, though it is giving the allusion that it is deeper than it really is.

I made these tonight to go with some carrot soup. They turned out pretty good. My only complaint was that even though they say they are easy they had to rise forever! I didn't plan in the second rise time, but luckily I tricked them to rise faster by warming the oven up pretty warm. Ben liked them, but said they were crumbly and not as good as the rolls Mom usually makes. And, Russell actually ate two of them!
