1/4 c. sugar
1 tsp salt
1/4 c. margarine
1/2 c. warm water
2 pkg. yeast
2 eggs, beaten
5 1/4 c. flour

Scald milk and stir in sugar, salt, and margaring. Cool to lukewarm. Measure warm water into large warm bowl and sprinkle in yeast. Add milk mixture, eggs, and 2 c. flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in remaining flour to make a soft dough. (dough will be slightly sticky) Knead until smooth and elastic. Let rise 30 min.

dinner rolls- divide dough into 3 pieces, then 9 pieces from each one. Place in greased pans and brush with melted butter. Let rise 30 min then bake at 350 for 15-20 min. or until golden.

crescent rolls- divide dough into 3 pieces. Roll on floured surface into a 12 inch circle. Brush with melted butter and cut like a pie into 12 pieces. Roll each piece from the big end and place on greased pan about 2 inches apart. Let rise 30 min. then bake at 400 for 12 min or until golden.

orange rolls- divide dough into 2 pieces and roll each piece into a rectangle. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with sugar. Grate orange peel on top. Roll up and slice. Place in greased pan and let rise for 30 min. Bake at 400 for 10 min. or until golden.

cinnamon rolls- same as orange, just use cinnamon sugar and no orange peel.
