Add eggs; beat on high 2 minutes. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough (dough will be sticky)., Do not knead. Place dough in a large greased bowl. Cover; refrigerate overnight., Punch down dough. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide and shape into 24 balls. Place 2 in. apart on greased baking sheets.

OVERNIGHT SOFT ROLLS

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, combine 1-¼ cups flour, sugar and yeast.
• In a saucepan, heat the sour cream and water to 120-130 degrees F.
• Add to dry ingredients; beat until blended. Set aside and let mixture sit for 10 minutes.
• Add salt and mix thoroughly. Beat in eggs until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
• Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes.
• Place in a greased bowl, turning to coat. Cover and refrigerate at least 6 hours, preferably overnight.
• Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; roll out to ½-in. thickness. Cut with a floured 2-½-in. biscuit cutter. Using the dull edge of a knife, make an off-center crease in each roll. Fold along crease so the small half is on the top; press among folded edge.
• Place in a greased 15 x 10 x 1-in. baking pan, allowing edges to touch. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 30 minutes.
• Brush tops with melted butter. Bake at 375 degrees F for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.

HERB & CHEESE CRUSTED CLOVERLEAF ROLLS

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, heat milk with 3 tablespoons of the butter and sugar just until the butter melts. Pour into a large glass bowl and let cool to 110°F-120°F Stir in yeast and let rest until dissolved, approximately 5 minutes or so. Add flour and salt and stir until a soft sticky dough forms.
• Place dough on a lightly floured surface. Wash, dry and lightly coat the glass bowl with oil. Knead the dough until smooth, about 4 minutes. Place dough in oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap or kitchen towel and let rise in a warm, draft-free spot until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.
• Melt the remaining butter in a small saucepan. In a small shallow bowl or container, toss cheese with herbs.
• Lightly butter 18 of the muffin cups in 2 or more nonstick pans. Punch down the dough and divide into 3 equal sections. Working with 1 section of dough at a time and keeping the rest covered, roll the dough into a 1-inch-thick rope on a lightly floured surface; cut the rope into 18 equal pieces; roll each piece into a ball. Dip half of each ball into the melted butter and then into the herb-cheese mixture and arrange 3 balls in each prepared muffin cup, coated sides touching in the center. Repeat with the remaining dough and topping. Brush the top of the rolls with the remaining melted butter. (At this point they can be covered with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.)
• Loosely drape plastic wrap over the muffin tins and let rise in a warm spot until they are about 1 inch above the rim of the cups, about 2 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 425°. Bake rolls in the lower and middle third of oven for about 15 minutes, or until nicely golden and tops are sizzling; about 7 minutes into baking swap pans and rotate for even browning. Turn the rolls out onto a rack and let cool for a few minutes before serving.

FABULOUS OVERNIGHT ROLLS

Steps:

• *Prepare the night before:.
• Heat milk, butter, sugar and salt in saucepan, just until butter melts; remove from heat and cool slightly. (85 degrees).
• Dissolve yeast in warm water (110 degrees) in large bowl of electric mixer.
• When milk mixture is lukewarm (85 degrees), beat into yeast.
• Add 2 cups flour and beat at slow, then medium speed 2 minutes. (There should be no lumps.)
• Beat in eggs; when well blended, stop mixer and scrape down beaters and bowl.
• Slowly add 1 cup flour, beating at low speed 2 minutes.
• Remove beaters, stir in 3/4 cup flour and beat with wooden spoon until dough is smooth and elastic.
• Oil a large bowl and turn dough into it, leaving room for expansion; brush top with oil and cover with plastic (wrap airtight).
• Refrigerate up to 2 days, punching down whenever double in bulk (about every 9-10 hours).
• SHAPING: Remove from refrigerator 2 1/2 to 3 hours before shaping.
• Punch dough down and beat out all air bubbles by kneading.
• Divide dough in 4 equal pieces. Sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup flour on board and roll each piece into a circle 1/8 thick.
• Brush with melted butter, then cut each circle in about 8 wedges; roll each up from wide to narrow end to form a crescent.
• Arrange crescents on lightly oiled (I use Pam) baking sheets, allowing room for rolls to triple in size. Brush with more melted butter, cover with plastic and set in a warm place to rise (about 1 hour).
• Bake in preheated 400 degree oven about 10 to 12 minutes, or until pale gold.
• Remove to racks to cool.
• When cool, you can bag them airtight and refrigerate or freeze.
