Lion House Dinner Rolls

My friend Susanne says rolls are just an excuse to eat butter...I agree. Here is one of my favorite ways to eat butter.

Lion House Dinner Rolls

2 cups warm water (110 to 115 degrees)
2 tablespoons dry yeast
2 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 eggs
2/3 cup nonfat dry milk powder
1/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup butter or shortening
5-5 1/2 cups all-purpose flour or bread flour

Mix the water, sugar, butter, salt, dry milk, and 5 c. flour together until combined. Make sure to tap the flour down in the cup with a knife until it is settled into the cup (giving you a full 1 cup measurement). After this has been sufficiently mixed, add teh eggs and yeast. Mix together again until combined. Add the last 1/2-1 c. of flour to the dough (if needed and too sticky). Let this mix on high for 5 minutes until the dough becomes slightly stiff and stretchy. Let teh dough rise until doubled in size. Pull and roll the dough into balls and place thirty rolls on a cookie sheet (5 rolls by 6 rolls). Let them rise on a cookie sheet until the balls begin to touch. Bake at 350 degrees on the middle rack for 25-30 minutes. Butter tops after roll are out of the oven.
