Jenny's Rolls

This is my favorite roll recipe. Granted, I haven't tried that many recipes in my life, but these really are to die for. My mom's been cooking/baking for a lot more years than I have, and she said this is the best recipe she's found. The recipe comes from a family friend who is well known for her talent in the kitchen. Thanks for the recipe, Jenny!

Jenny’s Rolls
2 Cup warm water
2 Tsp salt
2/3 Cup powdered milk
1/2 Cup butter softened or melted
2 Tbsp active yeast
2 eggs
1/2  cup sugar
5 -6 cups bread flour*

Sprinkle yeast on lukewarm water mixed with powdered milk in mixing bowl; stir to dissolve. Add sugar, salt, and stir to dissolve. Add butter and eggs, mix slightly. Add 2 cups flour, mix on low speed for 2 minutes, add 2 more cups flour mix on medium speed, add flour until dough separates from sides of bowl. Remove from mixer and knead dough until smooth. Dough will still be slightly sticky. Clean bowl and spray with cooking spray, place dough in bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let rise until double in size (about 1/2 hour) You can punch it down and let rise again or take out and make rolls at this point into whatever shape you desire. Let rise again. Bake at 375°F for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden. Brush with melted butter and enjoy!
 *I've never used bread flour, just regular white, and it always turns out great!
