Church Supper Rolls

Church Supper Rolls

1 cup warm water (105-115 degrees- I just ran it to feel like bathwater and it was fine)
2 packages active dry yeast
1 stick butter, melted
1/2 cup sugar
3 eggs
3/4 teaspoon salt
4-4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

Directions

-Combine warm water and yeast in a large bowl. Let the mixture stand until yeast is foamy, about five minutes.
-Stir in butter, sugar, eggs and salt. Beat in flour, 1 cup at a time, until dough is too stiff to mix (more or less flour may be needed). Cover and refrigerate 2 hours or up to four days.
-Grease a 13 x 9 inch baking pan. Turn the chilled dough onto a lightly floured board. Divide dough into 24 equal-sized pieces. Roll each piece into a smooth round ball; place balls in even rows in the prepared pan. Cover and let dough balls rise until doubled in volume, about one hour. (I didn't do this last step- instead, I just made the rolls only slightly smaller than normal size and they expanded a bit in the oven and were wonderful).
-Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Bake until rolls are lightly browned, 12-15 minutes. Brush warm rolls with melted butter, if desired.

These were a blogging recipe that I changed up a little and they do remind us of our Church Supper Rolls, so voila! This selection is going into Kim...and Her Coffee's Carnival. Let me know if you enter, we love recipes. :) What a great idea Kim, I look forward to doing this again. :)

Warmly,
