Ingredients




2 pkgs. active dry yeast
1 1/2 cups warm water
2 teaspoons plus ½ c. sugar, divided
1 1/2 cups warm milk
1/4 cup vegetable oil
4 teaspoons salt
7 1/2 cups to 8 ½  flour, all-purpose
melted butter

Preparation

1 In large mixing bowl dissolve yeast and 2 t. sugar in warm water; let stand for 5 minutes. 2 Add the milk, oil, salt and remaining sugar. Stir in enough flour to form a stiff dough. Turn out onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 6-8 minutes. 3 Place in a greased bowl and turn once to coat top. 4 Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1-1/2 hours. 5 Punch dough down. Divide into four pieces: 6 Cover three of the pieces with plastic wrap. Divide one piece into 12 balls. 7 Now comes the fun part that the kids will love to help you with. Form the dough into knots by: rolling each ball into a 10" rope. 8 Next, tie into a knot. 9 And pinch the ends together. 10 Repeat with remaining dough and place on a greased cookie sheet; brush with melted butter. 11 Cover and let rise until doubled, about 20 minutes. 12 To serve immediately, bake at 375 for 15-18 minutes. 13 For the ones you will freeze, bake at 300 for 15 minutes (they will be partially baked) and allow to cool completely. 14 Store and freeze and grab a few out for each meal and bake at 375 until brown.
