Dinner Rolls!

I just made these rolls tonight. This was my first time using this recipe! I've tried several & this is the one I like most, so far. Here's the recipe:

Dinner Rolls

2 Tbsp. yeast

1/2 c. warm water (105-115°)

2 Tbsp. sugar

2 c. hot water (120-130 degrees)

1/2 c. sugar

1/2 c. butter/margarine

2 eggs

2 tsp. salt

7-8 c. flour (mine took 9 cups)

soft butter

Mix together yeast, 1/2 c. warm water & 2 Tbsp. sugar. Let sit for 10-15 min. to proof (gets all fluffy). Whisk in large mixing bowl 2 c. hot water, 1/2 c. sugar, butter, eggs & salt. Add yeast mixture (after it's proofed). Add one c. of flour at a time. Let dough rise in greased bowl for one hour. I usually pour a little bit of olive oil in a large bowl to grease it, you can use canola or veggie oil. Shape into balls. I kinda rolled them into balls & then took a little time to make them smooth on the top by just pulling the top around to the bottom, until the top was smooth.

Bake at 350 degrees for 16-22 min.

I had to adjust my oven to 375 for 18 min. (my oven tends to be a little cooler than some).

I only let my rolls rise for about 20 min. until my dinner was done baking.

They still rose quite a bit in that 20 min.
