MOM'S WHITE DINNER ROLLS
this is a GREAT sweet dough recipe that my mom made all growing up. It is great for rolls, cinnamon rolls, orange rolls, bread, etc. one trick for shaping the rolls: roll dough into circle about 1/2 thick. use pizza cutter to cut circle into 12 triangles (cut in horizontal, then vertical, then those sections in thirds). circle the dough around your finger until the end and slide it off your finger. :) Good luck. these are great. :)

MOM'S MELT-IN-YOUR-MOUTH DINNER ROLLS
My mom made these rolls for every occasion I can remember. They are originally in a little cookbook by Beverly Nye from Cleveland, Ohio. They are practically no fail, since there is no kneading involved. They are always light, tender, and delicious, and so popular that I usually plan on at least two per person rather than the one indicated here. They are also really convenient since you make the dough the night before and refrigerate it for the first rise. The times indicated do not include refrigerating overnight or the 2 hours they take to raise before baking. (P.S. Thanks for the photo Danielle)

Steps:
- Dissolve yeast in warm water and add 1 tablespoon sugar and baking powder. Allow to stand for 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile scald milk. Add margarine, 1/3 cup sugar and salt. Cool a little and then add eggs. (I do this step in my 4 c glass measure in the microwave.).
- Combine all with flour. Cover and refrigerate overnight. (The dough will more than double in bulk, so make sure your container is big enough. If it looks like it might outgrow its bowl, you can always punch it down once or twice without any ill effects.).
- Two hours before serving, divide dough into thirds and roll out into large circles about 9 inches in diameter on a floured surface. The dough will be sticky, but don't worry. It will quickly come together and handle really well with a few sprinklings of flour (not too much). Cut into 8 wedges and make crescent rolls by starting at the wide end and rolling up. Place on greased pans to rise, covered with clean towels.
- Bake at 425 degrees for 8-10 minutes. Mom always rubbed the hot rolls with a stick of butter when they came out of the oven, and I do, too. It makes them so beautiful.

Tips:
- Activate the yeast properly: Active dry yeast must be activated with warm water ranging between 105-115°F (41-46°C), whereas instant yeast does not require activation and can be added directly to the dry ingredients.
- Knead the dough until it becomes smooth and elastic: Kneading develops the gluten in the dough, which gives it structure and elasticity. You should knead the dough for at least 5 minutes, or until it passes the windowpane test, which involves stretching a small piece of dough between your fingers until it becomes thin enough to see through without tearing.
- Let the dough rise in a warm place: To encourage the yeast to grow and produce carbon dioxide, which causes the dough to rise, place it in a warm spot, such as a turned-off oven with a cup of boiling water inside. Cover the dough with a damp cloth or plastic wrap to prevent it from drying out.
- Shape the dough into rolls: Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air and divide it into equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and then shape it into a roll by pinching the top and bottom together.
- Bake the rolls in a preheated oven: Before baking, brush the rolls with melted butter or an egg wash to give them a golden brown color. Bake the rolls in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 20 minutes, or until they sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
