Julie’s Rolls

1 ¼ milk (heated)
¼ cup butter
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons rapid rise yeast
½ cup warm water
1 egg
5 ¾ cups flour
1 teaspoon salt

Heat milk and butter in microwave until margarine is almost melted. In a mixer combine milk and margarine, sugar, 2 cups of the flour, water and yeast. Mix until well blended and gradually add the remaining flour and the salt. The dough should not stick to your finger when lightly tapped. The secret to light rolls is not to add too much flour. Allow rolls to rise until double. Punch down dough and shape into rolls. Place on buttered pan and let rise. Bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes.
