Breads and Doughs

Florence's Rolls

Ingredients

• 3 cups lukewarm water
• 1 tsp salt
• 2 Tbsp sugar
• 1 packet yeast
• 1/4 cup melted butter
• 8 to 9 cups flour

Directions

1. Dissolve the yeast in the water, salt, and sugar. Let stand 8 minutes until bubbly.
2. Add the melted butter and 8 to 9 cups flour. Knead until smooth.
3. Grease a pan and let the dough rise, covered, 1 1/2 hours or until doubled in size.
4. Make into rolls and put into greased pans. Let rise until doubled in size.
5. Bake in a 350°F oven.

Notes

• Florence liked to put seven dough balls in a glass pie pan and bake them together, so there are some soft edges as well as crusty edges.
• The original gives no baking time.
