Instructions
Dissolve yeast in warm water. Let stand for 5 minutes.
In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of flour, sugar, butter, water/yeast mixture and salt. With a wooden spoon or rubber spatula, stir to combine. Add additional flour if needed to form a soft dough.
Place dough on a lightly floured surface. Knead dough for about 5 minutes. Place back in large bowl. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
With a bench scraper or knife, divide dough in half. Continue dividing evenly until you have 8 pieces. Roll into balls. Place in a buttered pie dish or round baking dish. Cover and let rise 45 minutes to an hour.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, until golden brown. Remove from oven and brush with melted butter.
