Easy Dinner Rolls

1 C warm water (105 deg to 115 deg)
1/2 C (1 stick) butter or margarine, melted (cut into about 8 pieces & put in microwave
about 30 sec at a time until melted) Let it cool a little before using.
1/2 C sugar
3 eggs
1 tsp salt
4-4 1/2 C all-purpose flour
Additional melted butter optional
Makes 2 dozen rolls

Combine the warm water & yeast in a large bowl. Let the mixture stand until yeast is foamy, about 5 minutes.

Stir in butter, sugar, eggs & salt. Beat in flour, 1 C at a time, until dough is too stiff to mix (some flour may not be needed.). Cover & refrigerate 2 hour or up to 4 days.

Grease a 13x9 inch baking pan. Turn the chilled dough out onto a lightly floured board. Divide dough into 24 equal-size pieces. (I've found this easy to do by first cutting in half, fourths etc until I get the 24) Roll each piece into a smooth round ball; place balls in even rows in the prepared pan. Cover & let dough balls rise until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees Bake until rolls are golden brown, 15-20 minutes. Brush warm rolls with melted butter, if desired. Break rolls apart to serve.
