Ingredients

2 pkgs. active dry yeast
1 1/2 cups warm water
2 teaspoons plus ½ c. sugar, divided

1/4 cup vegetable oil
4 teaspoons salt

melted butter

Preparation

1
In large mixing bowl dissolve yeast and 2 t. sugar in warm water; let stand for 5 minutes.
2
Add the milk, oil, salt and remaining sugar. Stir in enough flour to form a stiff dough. Turn out onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 6-8 minutes.
3
Place in a greased bowl and turn once to coat top.
4
Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1-1/2 hours.
5
Punch dough down. Divide into four pieces:
6
Cover three of the pieces with plastic wrap. Divide one piece into 12 balls.
7
Now comes the fun part that the kids will love to help you with. Form the dough into knots by: rolling each ball into a 10" rope.
8
Next, tie into a knot.
9
And pinch the ends together.
10
Repeat with remaining dough and place on a greased cookie sheet; brush with melted butter.
11
Cover and let rise until doubled, about 20 minutes.
12
To serve immediately, bake at 375 for 15-18 minutes.
13
For the ones you will freeze, bake at 300 for 15 minutes (they will be partially baked) and allow to cool completely.
14
Store and freeze and grab a few out for each meal and bake at 375 until brown.
