Dinner Rolls

1 package rapid rise dry yeast
1 cup milk, scalded then cooled
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 egg
1/4 cup margarine, softened
4 cups plain flour (or bread flour)

Dissolve yeast in warm milk. Stir in sugar, salt, egg, margarine and 2 cups of the flour. Beat until smooth. Mix remaining flour and mix until dough is easy to handle.

Turn dough onto lightly floured board and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic. (Or knead with dough hook in an electric mixer for 5 minutes).

Lightly grease a bowl. Place dough in greased bowl, turn greased side up, cover and let rise in a warm place until double, about 1 1/2 hours.

Punch down dough and roll out to an oblong about 1/4 inch thick. Cut into 3 inch circles with cookie cutter. Place one circle on top of the other and place on a cookie sheet that has been sprayed with Pam.

Brush tops with melted margarine if desired. Cover and let rise about 30 minutes or until doubled in volume.

Bake in 400 degree oven for about 15 minutes or until golden brown. Check after 10 minutes to insure you do not burn the tops of the rolls.
