Simple Pull-Apart Rolls

• 3/4 c. butter or margarine
• 3/4 c. sugar
• 1 c. boiling water
• 1 T. + 1 t. yeast (or 2 packets)
• 2 eggs
• 1 t. salt
• 1 t. baking powder
• 1/2 t. baking soda
• 7 - 8 c. flour

1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter or margarine with the sugar until creamy. Add the boiling water and mix to combine. Cool to room temperature.

2. While that cools, dissolve yeast in 1 c. warm water. Add to mixing bowl along with the eggs. Mix well. Stir in the salt, baking powder, baking soda and 5 1/2 c. flour until combined.

3. Working with 1/2 c. at a time, add remaining flour until dough comes together. It’s okay if the dough is still a little sticky. Knead on a floured surface for about 8 minutes.

4. Roll the dough into evenly shaped balls, about the size of a golf ball and place into 3 round cake pans. Cover and let rise until doubled, 1 to 2 hours.

5. Bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes, until golden brown.
