2 yeast cakes in 1 cup warm water with 1 tsp. sugar (2 pkgs dry yeast -- 1 pkg equals a little more than 1 tbsp. dry yeast)

This recipe was used by Joy Hurst for many years. She got it from her sister, Afton Jacobson. Joy was famous in Hinckley, Utah for making good rolls. She formed the rolls into parker house rolls by rolling out the dough, cutting into circles, brushing with melted butter and folding over for the "parker house" shape. Jeanette Drake makes these rolls by forming into balls for simplicity. She makes 80 rolls, using two large bun pans with 40 rolls each.
