Light and Fluffy Dinner Rolls

I tweaked an old roll recipe of mine and came up with these for Taylor's birthday.

They are really easy, melt in your mouth and freeze well!

Light and Fluffy Rolls

2.5 c hot tap water

1 c sugar

3 pkgs of yeast

1 c butter, melted and slightly cooled

4 t salt

10.5 t baking powder (1/4 c)

7.5 c all purpose flour

In electric mixer, combine water, sugar and yeast. Mix on low

and let sit a few minutes until yeast is dissolved and foamy.

On low speed, gradually add butter and salt.

Then add baking powder and flour until combined.

Dough is wet and very sticky. Scrape down sides of bowl, cover

with a damp dish towel and let rise in a warm place for 1.5 hours.

Punch down and knead with 1/2 to 1 cup of flour.

Divide into 24 equal portions. Shape into rolls and place in three

8" round, greased cake pans, 8 rolls each.

Rise 30 minutes.

Bake 350 degrees for 25 minutes.

And if you're like me, you must sample while still warm,

slathered with real butter! Mmmmm!
