Ingredients

3 teaspoons active dry yeast
2 cups warm water (110° to 115°)
1/2 cup butter, softened
2/3 cup nonfat dry milk powder
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup mashed potato flakes
2 eggs
1-1/2 teaspoons salt
6 to 6-1/2 cups all-purpose flour

Directions

In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the butter, milk
powder, sugar, potato flakes, eggs, salt and 3 cups flour. Beat
until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a firm dough.
Turn onto a heavily floured surface; knead 8-10 times. Divide dough
in half. Roll each portion into a 12-in. circle; cut each circle
into 16 wedges. Roll up wedges from the wide ends and place point
side down 2 in. apart on waxed paper-lined baking sheets. Curve ends
to form crescents.
Cover and freeze. When firm, transfer to a large resealable plastic
freezer bag. Freeze for up to 4 weeks.
To use frozen rolls: Arrange frozen rolls 2 in. apart on baking
sheets coated with cooking spray. Cover and thaw in the refrigerator
overnight.
Let rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled. Bake at
