60 Minute Rolls

3/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
4 1/2 cups flour

2 pkg. yeast (1 tablespoon)
1/4 cup warm water

Heat milk to lukewarm. Add butter and stir until melted. Stir in salt, beaten egg and 5 tablespoons sugar. In meantime, add yeast and 1 teaspoon sugar in 1/4 cup water. Stir with wooden spoon until dissolved. Let yeast rise for 10 minutes. Add flour to milk mixture; add yeast mixture and mix well. Knead dough until smooth. Cover and let dough rise about 20 min. Punch down and knead until smooth. Add a small amount of flour if needed. Shape into your favorite roll shape. Put in a greased pan, let rise 20 min. (covered). Bake 10-15 minutes at 400 degrees. Brush top of rolls with melted butter when done.
