Monique's Rolls

My sister-in-law, Monique, always brings these rolls to family functions and we all look forward to them.  Jeremy and I were talking about how good they sounded and it finally dawned on me that I could ask her for the recipe haha!  She normally rolls them into crescent shapes, but I just do round rolls with them.  I really like that this recipe uses some food storage items too!

Monique's Rolls

2 c. warm water

2/3 c. instant dry milk

1/2 c. butter or margarine, softened

1 Tbl. dry yeast

1/2 c. sugar

1/2 c. instant dry potatoes (pearls or flakes)

1 1/2 tsp. salt

2 eggs

Flour - enough for a soft dough (about 6-7 c.)

Mix together in the order given.  Knead for about 8 minutes or mix in stand mixer for several minutes.  Let rise 1 time.  Punch down and turn out on a floured board.  Divide in 2 and roll into a 10 in. circle.  Brush with butter or margarine.  Using a pizza cutter, cut the dough into 16 triangles.  Starting at the wide end, roll up in crescent roll fashion.  Place on greased baking sheet with the point on the bottom.  Cover well with plastic wrap and freeze until ready to use.  Remove from the freezer about 3 hours before you wish to bake them.  Makes about 3 dozen.  Bake at 375 degrees for 12-15 minutes. Brush with butter after baking.

 If you are making the rolls and baking that same day, after you roll them out and place on cookie sheet cover with plastic wrap or towel and let rise to double the size then bake.

**To make into circle rolls, divide dough into two portions and roll into rectangle onto floured surface.  Cut each dough rectangle into 12 pieces with pizza cutter and roll each piece into a ball.  Place in two 9x13 pans and let rise.
