Famous Homemade Rolls (or Cinnamon Rolls)

2 c. hot water
1 stick butter, melted
2 tbsp. yeast
¾ c. sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp. baking powder
6 c. flour- (I find that I need to add a lot more flour when kneading to reach correct consistency)
2 tsp. salt

Place water and yeast in bowl and stir ‘til dissolved. Add sugar and let activate. In meantime sift together dry ingredients in a separate bowl. Add butter and eggs to yeast mixture. Slowly mix in dry ingredients.
Let dough rest 5 minutes before kneading for 5 minutes. For rolls, I like to tie knots. Let rise 2 hours at room temperature before baking at 425 for 20 minutes (or until golden brown).

For cinnamon rolls- after kneading dough, roll the dough to ½ inch thickness. Brush melted butter onto dough and add cinnamon/sugar mixture. (Cinnamon, White Sugar, and Brown Sugar) Roll the dough and cut 1-inch thick slices. Place in casserole dish and let rise 2 hours until doubled in size. Bake same as above.
