Heavenly Rolls

1 Tbsp. yeast
1/4 cup warm water
1/2 tsp. sugar
1 cup warm milk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp. salt
1 cup flour
2 eggs
3-4 cups flour
butter, melted

1.  Mix 1 Tbsp. yeast with 1/4 cup warm water and 1/2 tsp. sugar.  Let stand until bubbly.
2.  In a large bowl mix 1 cup warm milk, 1/2 cup oil, 1/2 cu sugar, 1 tsp. salt with a wooden spoon.
3.  Add 1 cup of flour to mixture, and mix well.  Add 2 eggs and beat until smooth (mix vigorously by hand).  Add yeast mixture and mix vigorously until smooth.
4.  Add 3-4 cups flour to the yeast mixture.  Dough should be very sticky.  Pour the dough into a large bowl.  Cover with a tea towel and let rise for a few hours until it has doubled in size.
5.  Once the dough has doubled in size punch down and divide in half.
6.  Roll dough onto a floured surface making a circle about 12 inches round.  Dough should be about 3/8 inch thick.
7.  Brush dough with melted butter.  Cut circles with a pizza cutter into 12 pieces (like a pizza).  Roll from rounded edge to the point to make a crescent roll.  Place into a greased pan (we use an11x16 metal pan and do 3 across and 8 rows down).
8.  Cover dough with a tea towel and let rise for a few hours until it doubles in size.
9.  Bake at 375 degrees until light lightly browned, which is about 15-20 minutes.  NOTE: Touch rolls to see if they bounce back- if they do not, bake a little longer).
10.  Brushed with melted butter right while warm.  ENJOY!
