Hente Dinner Rolls

 Takes about 3 hours to prepare and bake

Ingredients

2 pkg. yeast

1 c milk

1/2 c sugar

6 TB vegetable oil

1 tsp. salt

6 c flour

3 eggs

1. Dissolve yeast in 1 c warm water (5 min.) meanwhile scald milk and add sugar, oil and salt. Mix well, then add 2 c flour and mix well. Add yeast mixture. 

2. In a separate bowl, beat 3 eggs, than add yeast mixture and mix well. Add 4 c flour and mix well. [You can add up to 1 c more flour if need be]. 

3. Knead a couple of times and place in an oiled glass bowl, flip so other side is oiled, then cover with plastic wrap and let rise 1 hour in a warm place.

4. Cut up dough and roll into rectangles then cut into triangles. roll up triangles and shape into crescent rolls. Brush with butter and let rise 1 hour. Bake 10 mins. at 375 degrees. 

Note: to make "pumpkin" rolls, instead of rolling into triangles, roll dough into individual balls. Score each ball like a pumpkin, punch a hole in the top center. Let rise 1 hour. Coat with an egg wash and bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes. Remove from oven and add a 1/3 pecan sliver to the top center hole for the pumpkin stem.
