     Title: Refrigerator Rolls
Categories: Rolls
     Yield: 30 Rolls

     6 c  All purpose flour; up to
          -6-1/2 c
   1/2 c  Sugar; they don't taste
          -overly sweet
     2 ts Salt
     2 pk Active dry yeast
          Tap water; hot
   1/2 c  Butter
     1    Egg
          Salad oil

 I can attest, these come out golden brown, very moist and tender
 inside.

 Early in the day or up to 1 week ahead:

 In a large bowl, combine 2-1/4 c flour, sugar, salt, and yeast; add
 butter. With a mixer at low speed * gradually pour 2 cups hot tap
 water (120 to 130°F) into dry ingredients. Add egg; increase speed
 to medium; beat 2 minutes, occasionally scraping the side of the bowl
 with rubber spatula. Beat in 3/4 cup flour or enough to make a thick
 batter. Continue beating 2 minutes, occasionally scraping bowl. With
 spoon, stir in enough additionalo flour (about 2-1/2 cups) to make
 soft dough.

 Turn dough onto lightly floured board and knead until smooth and
 elastic, about 10 minutes. Shape dough into a ball and place in a
 greased bowl, turning so top of the dough is greased. Cover with
 towel; let rise in a warm place (80 to 85°F) away from draft until
 doubled, about 1-1/2 hours. (Dough is doubled when two fingers
 pressed lightly into dough leave a dent.)

 Punch down dough by pushing down the center with fist, then pushing
 edges of the dough into the center. Turn dough over; brush with salad
 oil. Cover bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate, punching
 down occasionally, until ready to use. **

 ** The recipe does state you can prepare this dough up to one week
 ahead. :) IIRC the last time I made it I had it in the fridge for a
 couple of days before baking the rolls.

 About 2 hours before serving:

 Remove dough from refrigerator; grease a 15-1/2 x 10-1/2" open
 roasting pan. Cut dough into 30 equal pieces. Shape into balls and
 place in pan. Cover with a towel; let rise in warm place until
 doubled, about 1-1/2 hours.

 Preheat oven to 425°F. Bake 15 to 20 minutes until golden brown.
 Brush rolls with melted butter. Remove from pan and serve immediately.

 * I used an electric hand mixer with beaters for this. If you've got a
 stand mixer, obviously you should adapt the recipe to use it. IME,
 mixing the dough is not difficult enough to require dough hooks or
 paddles.
