Dinner Rolls

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup milk
• 3/4 cup water
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 2 eggs
• 5 teaspoons active dry yeast
• 5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup butter or margarine, melted

Directions

1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, warm milk, water, and sugar until the mixture reaches somewhere around 105-115 degrees Fahrenheit (NO HOTTER!). Remove from heat, and mix in the eggs and yeast.
2. Measure flour and salt into a large bowl. Make a well in the flour, and pour milk mixture into it. Do not stir. Cover with a lid, and let stand for 20 to 30 minutes.
3. Pour melted butter into flour, and mix together well. Add a little more flour if too sticky (though sticky dough will yield a lighter roll). Knead lightly. Cover, and let rise for about 20 to 30 minutes, or until doubled in size.
4. Shape the dough into about 16 rolls, and place on a baking sheet. Let rise again for about 20 to 30 minutes.
5. Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
6. Brush rolls with egg wash or melted butter. Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until done.
