One Hour Rolls

Nothing beats the smell and taste of warm rolls just out of the oven!
With this recipe you can have the first pan of rolls out of the oven in an hour.  With instant yeast the dough only needs to rise once.

1. Mix together thoroughly:
    2 cups flour
    3 tablespoons instant yeast
    1/4 cup sugar
    1 1/2 teaspoon salt

2. Add to dry mixture:
    1 3/4 cups warm water
    1/2 cup oil
    1 large egg

3. Beat together with hand mixer.  Let dough work or sponge for 10 minutes.

Then add 3 1/3 cups  flour.   Dough should be slightly sticky.

4. Knead dough in bowl, or on floured surface.

5. Brush 2 cookie sheets with butter.  Preheat oven to 170 degrees.

6. Divide dough into half.  Place one half of dough on floured surface, roll dough out to make a 13-14 in circle.  Spoon 1 tablespoon of melted butter on rolled out dough, brush butter to cover circle.  Use pizza cutter to cut the circle into fourths.

Now cut each fourth into thirds making twelve triangles.

 Start at the wide end of the triangle roll to make a crescent shape roll. 

Place rolls on cookie sheet brush tops with melted butter.  This will make 1 pan of 12 rolls.

7. Put first pan of rolls in preheated 170 degree oven for 10 minutes to rise. 

8. While the first pan of rolls are rising shape the other half of the dough into rolls.

9. Remove the first pan of rolls from warm oven.  Turn the oven to 400 degrees.  When the oven has preheated bake the rolls for 10 minutes.  The rolls should be golden on the top and bottom.

10. The second pan of rolls should have risen while the first pan was baking, and is now ready to bake
