1 pkg. dry yeast
1 c. warm water
1 stick butter
3 eggs
1/2 c. sugar
1 tsp. salt
5 c. sifted flour

Dissolve yeast in warm water. Melt butter and set aside. Beat eggs and add sugar and salt. Stir in yeast and butter. Add flour and mix well. Put dough in large, well greased bowl. Cover and let rise 4 hours or overnight unrefrigerated. Divide in 3 parts on floured surface.

Roll each part like a pie crust, brush top with melted butter and cut like a pie into 12 pieces. Roll into crescents and put 2 inches apart on greased cookie sheet. Cover and let rise 4 hours. Bake at 375 degrees for 12 to 15 minutes. Brush top with butter. Don't knead this dough. Yields: 3 dozen. (These rolls really freeze well.) I prefer the overnight method, it cuts down the time the next day.
