Instructions
  1. Stir together 1 cup of the flour and the yeast in a large mixing bowl.

  6. Using an electric mixer, beat for about 30 seconds on low to medium speed, scraping the sides of the bowl.

  8. Using a wooden spoon, stir in as much of the remaining flour as you can.
  9. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface.
  10. Knead in enough of the remaining flour to make a moderately stiff dough that is smooth and elastic (for about 6-8 minutes total).
  11. Shape the dough into a ball.
  12. Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, turning once to grease the surface of the dough.
  13. Cover and let rise in a warm place for about 1-1/4 hours (until double in size).
  14. Punch the dough down.
  15. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface.

  17. Cover the dough and let rest for about 10 minutes.
  18. Lightly grease two 9x9x2-inch or 8x8x2-inch baking pans.
  19. On a lightly floured surface, roll each portion of the dough to 1/2-inch thickness.
  20. Cut the dough with a floured 2-1/2-inch round cutter.
  21. Place the rolls in the prepared baking pans.
  22. Cover and let rise in a warm place for about 30-40 minutes (until nearly double in size).

  24. Remove the rolls immediately from the pans.
  25. Let the rolls cool on wire racks.
