"From an old TOH. I love these rolls. The dough is very easy to work with and they freeze well. Cook time includes rise time."

- In a mixing bowl, dissolve yeast and 1 tsp sugar in 1/2 cup water; let stand for 10 minutes.
- Add milk, salt and remaining sugar and water.
- Gradually add 2 cups flour; beat until smooth. Beat in egg and oil. Stir in enough flour to make a soft dough.
- Turn onto a floured board; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour.
- Punch dough down. Divide in half; roll each half on a floured board to 1/3-1/2 inch thickness. Cut with a floured 2 1/2 inch round cutter. Brush with butter if desired.
- Using the dull edge of a table knife, make an off-center crease in each roll. Fold along crease so the large half is on top. Press along folded edge.
- Place 2-3 inches apart on greased baking sheets.
- Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes.
- Bake at 375F for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
- Remove from pans and cool on wire racks.

Made this for dinner two ways; with the first half made as directed and that's the photos I've posted. Second rolled a seared hot dog in the center prior to cooking for a "pigs in a blanket" type of treat for DGD. Both turned out wonderful. This dough is so easy to work with and "rose" to the occassion perfectly in both cases. The end result was a soft, light roll that was so good there was nothing left to try freezing.

OK lets see...My name is Diane and I'm married to a wonderful guy -- going on 20 years. We have 2 kids -- 1 daughter and 1 son a 70lb german shepard, a fat cat and a very snobby cat! I work a couple of days a week in the Loop and the rest of my time is spent sitting at the kids sporting events. I love to try new recipes. Luckily, hubby will try just about anything. The kids aren't so eager about that, but are generally very good sports about it!
