Delicious No Knead Refrigerator Rolls

My aunt made these rolls for a post New Year's Eve get together and they were to die for. Delicious! I made them after getting the recipe for her and they are incredibly easy as well. A great recipe for a first time bread maker or and experienced pro! I haven't tried this in the bread machine dough cycle yet, but if you have a large capacity machine, I don't see why it wouldn't work! Enjoy :)
