Refrigerator Rolls

1 cup hot water
1 tsp salt
1 ½ tbs butter
¼ cup sugar
1 beaten egg
1 package yeast (1 tbs)
dissolved in 2 tbs warm
water with tsp sugar

- Prepare yeast, water and sugar. Set aside until it is bubbly. (This takes about 10 min.)
- Combine hot water, salt, sugar and butter in large mixing bowl.
- Add the beaten egg to the water mixture along with 2 cups of flour. Stir well. (Use wire whisk).
- Add the yeast mixture to the flour mixture. Stir well.
- Stir in enough flour to make a stiff dough. (Use wooden spoon).
- Pour out onto floured counter or pastry board and knead 8-10 times.
- Grease a mixing bowl with 1-2 tsp oil. Oil the top of your dough and cover with plastic, put a plate on the top and refrigerate.
- Take dough out of refrigerator about 2 hours prior to forming rolls. (You don’t have to refrigerate it, just let them rise.)
