Freezer Dinner Rolls - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    5 1/2 cups flour, up to 6 1/2 cups
    1/2 cup sugar
    1 1/2 teaspoons salt
    2 (1/4 ounce) packages active dry yeast
    1 1/4 cups water
    1/2 cup milk
    1/3 cup margarine
    2 large eggs
Preparation
    In a large bowl thoroughly mix 2 cups flour, sugar, salt and active dry yeast.
    Combine water, milk and margarine in a saucepan; heat until 120 to 130 degrees F (margarine does not need to melt).
    Gradually add to dry ingredients and beat 2 minutes at medium speed of electric mixer, scraping bowl occasionally. Add eggs and 1/2 cup flour; beat at high speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally.
    Stir in enough additional flour to make a soft dough.
    Turn out onto lightly floured board; knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 to 10 minutes.
    Cover with plastic wrap, then a towel, let rest 20 minutes.
    Punch down dough again; shape into desired shapes for dinner rolls.
    Place on greased baking sheets; cover with plastic wrap and foil, sealing well.
    Freeze until firm.
    Transfer to plastic bags (freeze up to 4 weeks).
    TO BAKE: Remove from freezer; place on greased baking sheets.
    Cover; let rise in warm place, free from draft, until doubled in bulk, about 1 1/2 hours.
    Bake at 350 degrees F 15 minutes, or until golden brown and done.
    Remove from baking sheets and let cool.
