    List of Ingredients

    4 to 4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
    1/4 cup sugar
    2 envelopes (1/2 ounce or 4 1/2 tsp) Fleischmann's Active Dry or RapidRise
    Yeast
    1 1/2 teaspoons salt
    3/4 cup very warm milk (120 to 130 F)
    1/2 cup very warm water (120 to 130 F)
    1/3 cup butter or margarine, softened
    2 eggs
    Poppy Seed or Sesame Seed, optional

    Recipe

    In large bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups flour, sugar, undissolved yeast, and
    salt. Gradually add warm milk, warm water, and butter; beat 2 minutes at
    medium speed of electric mixer
    scraping bowl occasionally. Add 1 egg and 1/2 cup flour; beat 2 minutes at
    high speed. With spoon, stir in enough remaining flour to make soft dough.
    Grease top; cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate 2 to 24 hours.

    Remove from refrigerator. Punch dough down. Remove dough to lightly floured
    surface. Shape as desired. Place rolls, about 2 inches apart, on greased
    baking sheets (or in other pans as directed)

    Cover; let rise in warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, about 20
    to 40 minutes.

    Beat remaining egg; brush on rolls. If desired, sprinkle with poppy or
    sesame seed. Bake at 375 F for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown.
    Remove from sheets or pans; let cool on wire racks.

    PAN ROLLS: Divide dough into 18 equal pieces. Roll each piece into ball.
    Place 9 balls in each of 2 greased 8-inch round baking pans


    LUCKY CLOVERS: Divide dough into 18 equal pieces. Roll each piece into

    Let rise as directed. Just before baking: With scissors, snip each roll in
    half, then in quarters, cutting to bottom but not through roll.

    CRESCENTS: Divide dough in half. Roll each half to 16-inch circle. With
    sharp knife, cut each circle into 12 wedges. Roll up tightly from wide end.
    Place rolls, with points down, on greased baking sheets. Curve ends to form
    crescents.

    KNOTS: Divide dough into 24 equal pieces. Roll each piece to 9-inch rope.
    Tie loose knot in center of each rope.

    COILS: Divide dough into 24 equal pieces. Roll each piece to 9-inch rope.
    Coil each rope and tuck end under coil.

    rope in half and twist three to four times. Pinch ends to seal.

    3 equal pieces.
