Jeni's Rolls (makes 24 rolls)
1 cup water (warm)
1 tablespoon quick rising yeast
1 tablespoon sugar
Combine above ingredients and set aside.
3 Eggs
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter or margarine (melted)
Mix the eggs and sugar. Add the melted butter and yeast mixture. Mix until combined.
4 cups flour
3/4 teaspoon salt
Add the flour and salt. Knead. Put a dish towel over the bowl and let rise in a warm place for 1 1/2 hours or until doubled. Knead again adding 1/2 - 1 c additional flour (add the flour until the dough stops sticking to the sides of the mixing bowl--do not add more than 1 c).
Divide into two balls of dough and roll each ball into a large circle. Cut circle into fourths. Cut each fourth into three equal triangles. You will have 12 triangles. Roll each triangle from the big end to the point into a crescent roll.
Spray two cookie sheets with cooking spray. Put a dozen rolls on each cookie sheet. Gently cover with kitchen towels and let rise in a warm place for 1 1/2 hours more or until doubled.
Bake at 400° for 6-8 minutes or until brown. Brush with melted butter.
