Basic Yeast Rolls

1. 1

   Scald milk; add margarine, sugar and salt.

2. 2

   Soften yeast in warm water.

3. 3

   Add to the cooled milk mixture.

4. 4

   Add beaten eggs and 2 cups of the flour (which may be whole wheat) and beat with mixer.

5. 5

   Add remaining flour gradually, stirring by hand to get the feel of the stiffness of the dough.

6. 6

   When stiff, turn onto a board that has been floured and knead until it loses its stickiness. Turn into a large greased bowl or kettle and turn so exposed top has grease covering.

7. 7

   Cover and let rise until double in bulk; punch down, let rest a few minutes and form according to the desired use.

8. 8

   If a coffee cake or sweet roll is desired, more butter may be rolled into the dough as you fold the dough and roll.

9. 9

   One third of dough will give you a dozen large dinner rolls or a larger coffee ring.
