Sheri Clarks dinner rolls



A beloved friend, Sheri Clark, has been so kind as to share her fabulous recipe with me. She actually had me over one afternoon and she taught me. Oh, how sweet she is. And these rolls are perfect. The recipe makes a lot, 36, in fact. Perfect for when company is over. It is super easy (just how I like it) and wonderful with home made strawberry jam (recipe for that coming soon).

In a small bowl, dissolve 2T yeast in 1 cup warm water. Add 1T white sugar to help it grow. Set aside.
In another small bowl, whip 3 eggs.
In a large bowl, mix:
1 cup warm water
1/2 cup oil
1/2 cup sugar
2t salt
add eggs and yeast mixture (after it has "grown")
Then add all purpose flour until the dough is light and does not stick to your fingers or the sides of the bowl. Around 6 cups. Make sure you do not add too much, or the rolls will come out dry.

Seperate dough into two equal balls. Roll them out into a round circle and with a pizza cutter, cut into 32 triangles (16 per circle) just like a pizza. Roll them up, biggest side to smallest, just like crescent rolls, and put on greased cookie sheet. Fill the pan, 4 across and 8 down. Let rise for about 2 hours. Bake at 350 for 16 minuets or until golden brown. Brush with butter. Best served with fresh strawberry jam!

Do you know if you can halve the recipe? Or maybe freeze the dough at some point? I don't have an oven or enough pans to do them all at once. Our oven is less than half the size of the ovens in the states.
