3/4 c. water
1/2 to 3/4 c. sugar
1 tsp. salt
3 tbsp. butter
1 egg, slightly beaten
2 pkg. dry yeast
1 c. warm water
5 c. flour

Mix 3/4 cup water, sugar, salt and butter. Bring to a boil, then cool to lukewarm. When cool, mix yeast in 1 cup lukewarm water until dissolved then add mixture, egg and 3 cups flour.

Beat until smooth. Add rest of flour (more if necessary to make it "unsticky") and mix well. No kneading necessary. Place in a greased bowl and let rise. Punch down. Form rolls and let rise again.

Bake at 375 degrees for 15 minutes. Check after 10 minutes. Cover with foil if too brown. Serves 24.
