How to Make Mom's Hot Rolls
- In a large bowl, combine warm water (105-115°F), yeast, and sugar. Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
- Add the melted butter, salt, and eggs. Beat well.
- Gradually add the flour, one cup at a time, mixing until a soft dough forms. (You may need slightly more or less flour depending on your environment).
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
- Punch down the dough and divide it in half. For yeast rolls: shape into individual rolls and place on a greased baking sheet. For cinnamon rolls: roll out dough into a rectangle, spread with cinnamon filling (see note), roll up tightly, and slice into individual rolls. Place on a greased baking sheet.
- Let the rolls rise for another 30-45 minutes, or until puffy.
- Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
