Ingredients

• 1 cups warm milk
• ½ cup vegetable oil
• ½ cup sugar
• 1 tsp. salt

Instructions

1. Mix 1 TB yeast with ¼ cup warm water and ½ tsp. sugar. Let stand until bubbly.
2. In a large bowl mix 1 cup warm milk, ½ cup oil, ½ cup sugar, 1 tsp. salt with a wooden spoon.
3. Add 1 cups of flour to mixture, and mix well. Add 2 eggs and beat until smooth (mix vigorously be hand). Add yeast mixture and mix vigorously until smooth.
4. Add 3-4 cups flour to the yeast mixture. Dough should be very sticky. Pour the dough into a large bowl. Cover with a tea towel and let rise for a few hours until it has doubled in size.
5. Once the dough has doubled in size punch down and divide in half.
6. Roll dough onto a floured surface making a circle about 12 inches round. Dough should be about ⅜" thick.
7. Brush dough with melted butter. Cut circles with a pizza cutter into 12 pieces (like a pizza). Roll from rounded edge to the point to make a crescent roll. Place into a greased pan (we use an 11 x16 metal pan and do 3 across and 8 rows down).
8. Cover dough with a tea towel and let rise for a few hours until it doubles in size.
9. Bake at 375 until light lightly browned, which is about 15-20 minutes. NOTE: Touch rolls to see if they bounce back - if they do not, bake a little longer).
10. Brushed with melted butter right while warm. ENJOY!
