• Ready In: 2hrs 15mins
• Ingredients: 8
• Yields: 24 rolls

ingredients

• 2 (1/4 ounce) packages dry active yeast
• 1⁄4 cup warm water
• 2 cups milk, scalded
• 1⁄3 cup sugar
• 1 1⁄2 teaspoons salt
• 1⁄4 cup vegetable oil
• 6 1⁄4 cups flour
• 2 eggs

directions

1. Soften the yeast in the warm water and set aside. Combine the hot milk, sugar, salt, and oil and let cool down to room temperature. Add the eggs and the yeast and mix together well. Add 2 cups of flour and beat well. Add the remaining flour and knead in well until you get a moderately stiff dough. Turn this out on a floured surface and knead until satiny. Put in a deep bowl with a little oil on top. Cover the bowl and let dough rise for 1 1/4 hours. Return dough back to a lightly floured surface and roll out the dough until about 1/4 inch thick. Cut out the rolls with a round biscuit cutter, fold them over to form roll shape, cover, and let rise for a further 1/2 hour. Preheat your oven to 375 F and bake the rolls for 12-15 minutes or until done.
