Freezer Dinner Rolls
Recipe By: Fleischmann's
Makes: about 4 dozen rolls

5 1/2 cups flour up to 6 1/2 cups
1/2 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 packages active dry yeast
1 1/4 cups water
1/2 cup milk
1/3 cup margarine
2 large eggs

In a large bowl thoroughly mix 2 cups flour, sugar, salt and active dry yeast.

Combine water, milk and margarine in a saucepan. Heat until 120 to 130 degrees F. Margarine does not need to melt. Gradually add to dry ingredients and beat 2 minutes at medium speed of electric mixer, scraping bowl occasionally. Add eggs and 1/2 cup flour. Beat at high speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Stir in enough additional flour to make a soft dough. Turn out onto lightly floured board; knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 to 10 minutes. Cover with plastic wrap, then a towel, let rest 20 minutes.

Punch down dough again. Shape into desired shapes for dinner rolls. Place on greased baking sheets. Cover with plastic wrap and foil, sealing well. Freeze until firm.

Transfer to plastic bags. Freeze up to 4 weeks.

Remove from freezer; place on greased baking sheets. Cover; let rise in warm place, free from draft, until doubled in bulk, about 1 1/2 hours.

Bake at 350 degrees F 15 minutes, or until golden brown and done. Remove from baking sheets and let cool.
