Hot Rolls

---

These rolls are just wonderful and so simple to make. Prep time does not include the time for letting rolls rise.[update: after finally being successful in making bread over the past year, and because of the reviews, i have reworked this recipe and hoepfully the instructions are more clear. the dough should be slightly sticky]
