I love bread, but it is the greatest downfall in my life!  Here is one of my favorite recipes that you mix up before going to bed and let rise while you sleep.  Roll the dough into crescent type rolls first thing in the morning and enjoy hot rolls with your lunch at noon.

Ingredients:

• 1 pkg. yeast (dissolved in ½ cup warm water)
• ½ cup sugar
• 2 eggs (beaten)
• ¾ cup warm water
• ½ cup vegetable oil
• 1 tsp. salt
• 4 cups flour

Once yeast is dissolved, mix it together in a large container with the sugar, beaten eggs, warm water, vegetable oil, and salt.  Add flour and mix well.  Cover and let sit overnight (the dough may overflow the container if it isn’t large enough so be sure to set it in a place where the overflow won’t hurt anything, including the dough).

The next morning, sprinkle your work area with flour, divide dough into three parts and roll each part into a circle like a pie or pizza crust (does not have to be perfectly round).  Using a pizza cutter, slice the dough into 8 triangular pieces.  Beginning at the wide end of each piece, roll the dough up like a crescent roll.  Place on a greased cookie sheet and let rise (about 2-4 hours).  Bake at 375º for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.  Yields 36 rolls.
