Golden knots

42 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
2 packs Active dry yeast
1 cup Plus 2 T. sugar; divided
1½ cup Warm water; divided
1 cup Milk
½ cup Butter or margarine
2 Eggs
2 teaspoons Salt
8½ cup All-purpose flour
Melted butter or margarine

Directions

In a large mixing bowl, dissolve yeast and 2 tablespoons sugar in ½ cup water. In a saucepan, heat the milk, butter and remaining water to 110-115; add to yeast mixture. Add eggs, salt, 5 cups flour and the remaining sugar; beat until smooth. Add enough of the remaining flour to form a soft dough.

Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour. Punch dough down. Divide into thirds; roll each portion into a 14 inch roll. Divide each roll into 14 pieces. Roll pieces into 9 inch ropes and tie into knots. Place the rolls 2 inches apart on greased baking sheets. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes. Bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Brush with melted butter. Yield 3½ dozen.
