These are some of the best rolls I've ever made! I've always had requests to make enough for folks to take them home. Goes great with Ham or whatever.

Buns
1 package of active dry yeast

1 1/2 tablespoons of salt
1 egg (well beaten)
6 cups of flour (Divided)

Add remaining sugar, salt, and egg. Mix together
Add 3 cups of the flour Mix well.
Cover set in a warm place let it rise until it doubles in
bulk. (About one hour).
Stir in the remaining 3 cups of flour, (the dough will
be sticky flour so your hands .)
Shape into 2" balls tucking the dough into the center
at the bottom. (Size according to what you like. More
small dainty buns or fewer big man pleasing buns)
Place dough in a 9^x13" pan. Optional spray the pan
