Parker House Rolls

This recipe is on a million blogs and in a million cookbooks.  It is a quick and easy roll recipe.  I recently made it for a Young Women's activity.  I doubled it and it made close to 5 dozen rolls.  It takes about two hours from start to finish.  They are delicious!

1/2 cup sugar
2 cups hot water
1/2 cup oil
6 – 7 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
2 tablespoons instant yeast
1/4 cup butter, melted, for shaping rolls

Add hot water to sugar and oil and beat with electric mixer. Add eggs and salt; beat well. When mixture is lukewarm, add yeast and keep beating. Add flour until a soft dough forms. Do not knead. Let rise in covered, oil bowl for one hour.

Roll out dough to 1/2-inch thickness and cut circles with round cutter, about 3 inches in diameter. Hold dough circle by the edge and dip both sides into melted butter. Fold in half on baking sheet and pinch edges together to seal.  Arrange folded dough in rows in pan, each nearly touching the other. Cover and let rise for 30-45 minutes. Bake at 350 degrees for 18-20 minutes. Brush tops with melted butter.
