OK don’t read this blog when hungry, LOL. I feel as though I should go try some of these recipes now!
Tim’s mom, used to make these rolls for every holiday. They are our FAVORITE. They really don’t take that long to make. We make them the night before and the kids, Emily especially, enjoy rolling them out in the morning while I tidy up the kitchen and do other last minute things. I never used to try anything with yeast, but several years ago my mil convinced me to give these a try and we’ve been making them for holiday dinners ever since.
1 pkg yeast,
¼ cup warm water
½ cup sugar
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup warm water
½ cup oil
1 tsp salt
4 cups unsifted flour
Dissolve yeast in ¼ cup warm water. Add sugar, eggs, and 1 cup warm water. Add oil, salt, and flour. Mix. Let stand 8 hours or overnight.
Divide into 3 parts. Sprinkle flour on the counter and on top of the dough. Roll each part out as if you were making pie crust. Cut into 8 sections like you are cutting a pie. Roll wide edge into the point. Place on greased cookie sheet. Let rise for 6 hours or until raised. Bake 10 to 12 minutes at 375 degrees.
Dissolving the yeast:

one batch in the bowl so you can see how much it raised over night. 1/3 is already rolled out and you can see the other 1/3 balls in the background.

YUM YUM! These are a very nice sweet roll.
