Shanna's Rolls

Here are my famous rolls! They truly are quite easy to do and I will share with you my tricks of the trade. First thing is that letting the rolls raise is key, the more they raise the lighter and fluffier they are. What I do to spead up the process, is preheat my oven and put the metal bowl in the oven to get slightly warm and then I put the dough in that and cover it with a towel and set it on top of the oven to finish raising, it only takes about 40 min if that. Also once you roll them out, letting them raise on the baking pan is what you need to do. Secondly, you never want to use flour to roll out your bread dough, OIL is key!! just put like a couple tablespoons on the counter when you are ready to roll them out. This makes them light and fluffy as well. Good luck~

1/2 C. oil
1/2 C. sugar
1 tsp. salt
2 T. yeast
1 3/4 C. warm water(remeber not too hot, but fairly warm)
2 eggs
6 cups flour (you may not use all of this, put in a little at a time and when the sides of the dough start pulling away from the sides, you have enough flour, another one of my tricks!!)

Put water, and sugar in bowl. Mix till dissolved. Then add yeast on top of water. Let sit for a few minutes. Add eggs and salt, then mix. Then add your flour. Let raise, it's best too let them raise in the bowl and then roll them out to make rolls and then put on a pan and raise again for about 15 min. Bake at 350 for 15-20 min.
