Instructions
  1. Put ingredients into bread maker in order specified by your instruction manual. (It will usually be in the order given or the exact opposite.) Select a large loaf size and the dough setting. When dough is ready, remove it from the bread maker, cover with a dry cloth and let it rest on a floured surface for 10 min.
  2. If you do not have a breadmaker, mix 2 c. of the four, the sugar, butter, salt and yeast in a large bowl. Add water, milk and egg. Beat on low speed, scraping bowl frequently, 1 min. Then do the same on medium speed. Stir in enough of the remaining flour to make dough easy to handle. Turn onto lightly floured surface, knead until smooth and elastic (5 min). Place in a large greased bowl; turn greased side up. Let rise in a warm place until double (about 1 hr.) Punch down dough. Cover with a dry cloth and let it rest on a floured surface for 10 min.
  3. Divide Dough into 2 equal parts. Roll each into a 12 inch circle. Spread margarine or butter on surface. Using a pizza cutter, cut into 12 wedges.
  4. Roll up, beginning at wide end. Place on greased cookie sheet or cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover with a dry cloth. Let the rolls raise 3 hours in a warm place.
  5. Bake at 400* for 7-9 min. Brush with melted butter.
Recipe Notes

*If you need the rolls to raise faster, preheat your oven to 200* and one it gets to 200*, turn it off. Put a pan or bowl with 2 cups of water in the oven with the cookie sheets containing the rolls. Keep the rolls covered with a dish cloth. Check on the rolls every 15 minutes as they can raise quickly using this method and once they reach their capacity to raise, they will fall and not raise again. Once they have raised as desired, remove the pan or bowl of water and preheat the oven to 400.* Then bake the rolls as directed. They may need a little less time since they were in the oven while preheating.
