In Memory of my beloved sister Gena

These were my sisters favorites and I always made them for every family 
get together. After a long battle with breast cancer she passed away on 
March 23. I will always think of her every time I make these rolls. 

Genas Heavenly Rolls 

1 cup milk 
1/2 cup softened butter or margarine 
1/4 cup sugar 
2 eggs 
3/4 teaspoon salt 
3 cups bread flour 
1 cup wheat flour Or use all bread flour 
2 1/2 teaspoons yeast 

Place all ingredients in your bread machine in the order recommended and 
use the dough cycle 

Remove the dough from the machine when cyle is complete. Knead gently on a 
lightly floured surface. Divide and shape into 24 smooth round rolls. 

Place the rolls about 3/4 inch apart on a greased cookie sheet. cover the 
dough with a cloth and allow it to double in a warm place. 

Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for about 18 minutes. Brush with butter 
or a mixture of butter and honey while still warm from the oven. You may 
also freeze the shaped dough before baking it, then allow to thaw in 
refrigerator overnight and then remove from refrigerator and let stand 
covered about 45 minutes until doubled. 

These are the lightest most delicious rolls. I have given this recipe to 
many people and they always get rave reviews on them.
