Gradually add the remaining flour, 1 cup at a time, mixing well after each addition until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms. Divide the dough into two equal portions, place each portion in a lightly oiled freezer bag, and refrigerate for at least 24 hours, or up to 3 days. (15 minutes)

Recipe View Pull off pieces of dough and form into 2-inch diameter balls. Arrange the dough balls in the prepared baking pan so that the edges are just touching.

Recipe View Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown on top. Let cool slightly before serving. (20 minutes)

For extra flavor, brush the warm rolls with melted butter immediately after baking.
To make cinnamon rolls, roll out the dough after refrigerating, spread with softened butter, sprinkle with cinnamon sugar, roll up tightly, slice into rounds, and bake as directed.
Ensure the water for the yeast is not too hot, as it can kill the yeast. Use a thermometer for best results.
If you don't have self-rising flour, you can make your own by adding 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon of salt per cup of all-purpose flour.
