  1. Here is the amazing roll recipe: This is the recipe we use for cinnamon rolls- orange rolls- and donuts!!
    1/2 cup melted butter
    2 C warm water
    2 T yeast
    1/3 C sugar
    1 t. salt
    2 eggs
    5 C flour

    Dissolve yeast in water for 5 min. Stir rest of ingredients together except flour. Alternate the yeast mixture with flour. Stir together. Cover wtih plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. Dough will be super sticky.
    Knead together and spread out. Spread whatever filling your desire on top. Or roll out and cut into donuts. Let raise on greased cookie sheet until double. Cook at 350 for 12-17 min. Frost or glaze immediately.
