 A GOOD ROLL RECIPE TO MAKE AHEAD AND FREEZE FOR
 DINNERS Dissolve yeast in warm water in a LARGE mixing
 bowl; let stand 5 minutes. Add dry milk powder and
 next 5 ingredients; beat at medium speed of an
 electric mixer until blended.  Gradually stir in
 enough flour to make a very soft dough. Place dough in
 a well-greased bowl; turning to grease top. Cover and
 refrigerate at least 4 hours.      Punch dough down;
 divide dough in half. Working with one portion of
 dough at a time, place dough on a lightly floured
 surface; knead until smooth and elastic, adding more
 flour, if necessary. Roll dough to 1/4-inch thickness.
 Cut dough with a 2-1/2-inch round cutter.
  Make a crease with dull edge of knife just off center
 on each round. Brush lightly with melted butter.
  Fold larger side over smaller so that the edges will
 meet. Seal. Place 15 rolls in a lightly greased 8-inch
 square baking pan. Repeat procedure filling two
 additional 8-inch square pans.
  Repeat procedure with remaining portion of dough,
 filling 3 additional square pans.  (NOTE: When I made
 these rolls, I used a total of 7 toaster oven size
 pans, each holding about 2 dozen rolls) Cover and let
 rise in a warm place, (85F), free from drafts, 40
 minutes or until rolls are doubled in bulk. Bake at
 375F. for 10--15 minutes. NOTE: To Freeze, prepare and
 bake rolls as directed; let cool.  Wrap in tin foil;
 freeze. To serve, let rolls thaw; then bake in foil at
 375F. degrees or until thoroughly heated. SOURCE:
