2 Tbs. dried yeast
1 1/2 cup warm water
1/2 cup melted butter
1/2 cup sugar
3 eggs
1 tsp salt
5 cups flour
Dissolve yeast in the warm water by stirring slowly with a mixer. Add to the yeast mixture, the melted butter (make sure it's not too hot!), sugar, and eggs. Mix well in mixer. Add salt. Add flour, one cup at a time. Dough will be sticky. Scrape dough from sides into the middle and sprinkle with approximately 1/4 cup of flour. Cover mixer bowl with towel and rise until double in size.
Roll on well-floured surface and cut into shapes. I usually use a regular drinking cup with a rounded top to cut the rolls. Place on greased pan and let rise again 15-25 minutes. Melt additional butter and brush rolls with butter. Bake at 375 degrees for 10-15 minutes until rolls are slightly browned. Brush with additional butter after removing from oven. Makes about 24-30 rolls.
