Grandma Anne's Dinner rolls

Written in her words.  :) 

Put 4 cups warm water or milk into a large mixing bowl. Now put ½ cup warm water and 2 tbs granulated yeast, along with 1 tbs sugar. Let sit to have yeast dissolved , for about 3 min. While this is being done add 1 ¼ cups sugar, 1 tbs salt and 1 ½ cups oil or melted shortening into the large bowl of warm water. With your mixer, blend together and then add the dissolved yeast and beat the mixture again. Now add 3 cups of flour and using your mixer beat will. If not too thick to beat add another cup of flour and 4 eggs. (Add more flour here, as much as you think you need)  When dough is too stiff for the mixer take out beater and with a big spoon get flour off sides of the bowl and maybe add more flour. Do not make dough very stiff, not as stiff as bread dough. Knead lightly a bit with your hands. Now set aside to rise for 1 to 1 ½ hours. When dough has about doubled in size, prepare a pastry sheet to put part of the dough on. To prepare this sheet add ½ cup flour onto the sheet and then put about ½ the roll dough on it. Roll it a bit in the flour so it will not be too sticky. Stretch it out to about ½ inch thick and cut out rolls. Have a well oiled sheet ready and put rolls on it to raise. Lastly have melted butter or some oil in a small dish and with pastry brush put oil on top of each roll. Do this until all dough is used up. Let raise an hour or more and bake about 12- 15 min in a 375 over.
