Mom's Bread

My Mom always makes her bread by hand. That's how I learned. I have tried several different roll recipes, but I always come back to hers because it is sooo easy, and requires little ingredients. I started this batch of rolls by rolling the dough into fancy shapes but then got rushed with the needs of children. I finished with just plopping the dough down in a circle.

In a Pyrex glass combine and let double:

2 T yeast
2 T sugar
1 cup warm water

While the yeast is rising combine in a large bowl or mixer the following:

10 cups flour ( I use 1 cup of wheat)
1/2 cup sugar
1 T salt

Then add the bubbly yeast mixture to the flour mix along with the following:

3 cups warm water
1/2 cup oil

mix by hand for about 5 minutes or with a mixer on low for 2 minutes.

Let rise till doubled. Divide into 2 loaves of bread and a giant batch of rolls. Let rise till doubled -about an hour.

Bake at 375 for 30 minutes. The rolls bake for about 10 to 20 minutes depending on how many you put on your cookie sheet. Brush melted butter over the rolls as soon as you take them out of the oven.
