• 3 eggs, slightly beaten
• 1 1/2 tsp. salt

Directions

1. To make the dough: Pour yeast granules into lukewarm water and stir gently until dissolved.

3. Put into a large bowl and cover with a cold, damp cloth. Let dough rest in the refrigerator overnight.

Brush dough with melted butter (be generous). Cut into 1 × 3 inch strips. Roll strips and put 3 in each muffin tin. Let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, usually 1 to 2 hours. Brush tops lightly with butter.

5. Bake at 400 degrees 20 to 25 minutes or until lightly browned on top. Watch to make sure they’re not overdone.

8. Note to save used dough, place in refrigerator covered with damp loth. Once a day, punch down the dough and let it rise again. When you want to bake rolls, pinch off the amount of dough needed and proceed as described above.
