Donnette's Rolls/Breadsticks

I got this recipe from a friend of mine. She had just pulled her batch of these rolls out of her oven, I ate one, thought I had died and gone to heaven and I left her house with this recipe. Instead of all white flour, she uses 2 cups whole wheat flour and 3 1/2 cups white flour. They are really easy to make!


2 C. Warm Water
2 Tbsp. Yeast
1/2 C. Sugar

Mix and let sit for 5- 10 minutes until yeast starts to foam

Then add:
2 1/2 tsp. Salt
3 C. Flour

Mix well then add:
1 Egg
1/4 C. Oil

Mix together then add:
3 C. flour (1 C. at a time)

Mix together until dough is formed. Do not add too much flour at one time or dough will be stiff. It is better for dough to be a little sticky. Let dough raise for 1/2 hour. Make it into desired shape i.e. rolls, breadsticks, etc. Then allow it to rise for 20 minutes more. Bake at 400 for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Once out of oven brush with butter while warm.
