How to Make Christine's Dinner Sweet Rolls

  1. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup (2 sticks) margarine, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 cup boiling water. Mix until the sugar and salt are dissolved.
  2. Let the mixture cool completely to lukewarm (approximately 30-45 minutes).
  3. In a small bowl, dissolve 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast in ¼ cup lukewarm water. Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
  4. Add the yeast mixture to the cooled margarine mixture. Stir to combine.
  5. Add 2 large beaten eggs and 6-7 cups all-purpose flour, one cup at a time, mixing until a sticky dough forms.
  6. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 24 hours.
  7. Once chilled, divide the dough into 3 equal sections.
  8. On a lightly floured surface, roll each section into a 12-inch circle.
  9. Cut each circle into 8 triangles.
  10. Starting at the wide end, roll each triangle up tightly towards the pointed end, forming a crescent.
  11. Place the crescents on a greased baking sheet, leaving some space between them.
  12. Let the rolls rise in a warm place for at least 3 hours, or until doubled in size.
  13. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  14. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
  15. Enjoy these delightful rolls warm! (Dough can also be used for sweet rolls and pizza crust – just reduce the sugar by half for pizza crust dough.)
