Super Yummy Rolls!

We love homemade rolls at our house! We got this recipe from Nate's sister-in-law. They are soooooo yummy! They make BIG, soft, fluffy rolls. I love finding new recipes from friends and thought I'd share this one!

Hansen Dinner Rolls (this is NOT the real name, but the name that we had passed to us)
375 degrees for 10-12 minutes (may have to take about 15 minutes)

2 cups warm water
2 Tablespoons yeast
1/2 cup sugar
3 cups flour
Let sit for 5 minutes.
Then beat together the following and ad to above mixture:
1 egg
1/4 cup oil
2 tsp salt (I used a slightly heaping tsp and it's perfect)
Then mix in 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 cups more flour until slightly sticky.
Let rise for 45 minutes. (the key to this recipe is really letting them rise!)
Roll into a long strip.
Melt butter (how ever much you'd like) and spread on top.
Fold in half.
Cut into 1/2 inch strips. (if you want smaller rolls, cut these strips in half again).
Tie in knots. Place on greased cookie sheet. (I put a bit more melted butter on top of them at this point)
Let rise until doubled (do NOT skimp on this step).
Bake until browned.

Sooooo yummy!
