Add 3/4 cup flour to make a sponge. Stir well. Let stand until double.

Microwave milk and butter for 3 minutes. Add the milk and butter mix to the sponge along with the salt. Stir well.

Gradually add the 7 cups of flour to make a soft dough. When all the flour is added, check dough for stickiness. Add enough flour to make a soft dough, but not sticky. Try to use as little flour as possible for a light, not heavy, finished product.

Put dough in an oiled bowl, turning once to coat, and cover with plastic wrap. Let rise in a warm, draft-free place until double.

When dough has risen, punch down.

To make rolls: Pinch small piece of dough through thumb and index fingers, and place on lightly greased cookie sheet.

Pinch off smaller piece and place on top. Flatten with the palm of your hand. Fill cookie sheet and bake in a 350°F to 375°F oven for 25 to 30 minutes.

These can be enjoyed plain, with cheese, or with jelly.

Makes approximately 3 dozen.
