Hot Rolls

These rolls are just wonderful and so simple to make. Prep time does not include the time for letting rolls rise.[Update: After finally being successful in making bread over the past year, and because of the reviews, I have reworked this recipe and hoepfully the instructions are more clear. The dough should be slightly sticky]
