Thanksgiving Dinner

For Thanksgiving I want to make homemade rolls. We usually get King's Hawaiian Sweet Rolls but this year I would looooove to have something homemade!

Here is a recipe I found (5 stars!) I think I am going to try it out this week, and see how it turns out!

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 cups water
  • 1 cup butter
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon white sugar
  • 3 (.25 ounce) packages active dry yeast
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 7 1/2 cups self-rising flour

DIRECTIONS

  1. In a large bowl place 2 cups water and butter or margarine. Microwave about 2 minutes.
  2. In another bowl, mix 1 cup sugar and eggs.
  3. In a separate cup, microwave 1/2 cup water for 30 seconds. Add 1 teaspoon sugar and dissolve yeast in this.
  4. Mix butter water and sugar and eggs mixture together; add salt. Mix in yeast water. Stir in 7 to 7 1/2 cups flour. Mix well and let rise in the refrigerator overnight, covered.
  5. When ready to use, dump onto floured surface (DO NOT PUNCH DOWN!) and let warm to room temperature. LIGHTLY KNEAD! Only work in enough extra flour to handle.
  6. Shape into rolls and place on greased sheet(s). Let rest 30 minutes, or until doubled in size.
  7. Bake in a preheated 400 degree F (205 degrees C) oven until tops are golden. Brush with oil or butter immediately out of the oven.
I love rolls. My favorite foods at Thanksgiving are the turkey, mashed potatoes, and the ROLLS!

Hopefully these are a HIT!
