Easy Yeast Rolls (from my food storage)

Today I made two batches of these rolls one batch all white flour and the other batch like the recipe below. (I even used hard white wheat grains and ground them up in my blender to make the wheat flour)
Man they were GOOD.

food storage ingredients
1 3/4 cup warm water
1/4 c sugar
3 tsp yeast
3 Tbsp Thrive powdered milk (not instant)
1/2 cup Thrive powdered butter
2 Tbsp Thrive powdered egg
1 tsp salt
4 Tbsp Thrive dough enhancer
2 cups wheat flour or Thrive hard wheat grains ground to flour
2 cups flour

Makes 24 yummy rolls.
The rolls will be baked in a 9 x 13 pan.
The roll are easy to make but if you have a bread machine it can be even easier.
If you have a bread machine add all of the ingredients to the bread machine and use the dough cycle and skip step 2 and 3.
For everyone else follow all of the steps to make yummy rolls by hand.

Add these first, warm water, sugar, yeast. Let set about 10 minutes for yeast to activate. Then add, Thrive powdered milk, Thrive powdered butter, Thrive powdered egg, salt and mix well, then start adding in the last three ingredients.

Once all of the ingredients are fully incorporated knead the dough on a lightly floured surface. Knead until the dough is smooth and elastic (approximately 6 to 9 minutes). Place the dough in a very lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp towel and place in a warm area. Allow the dough to rise until it is about double in size (approximately 45 minutes.)

Butter your pan that you will bake them in.
Punch down the dough and start shaping the rolls. Take a section of the roll in your hand. Make a circle with your thumb and fingers that is smaller than the dough.
Hold the dough in the circle your hand creates. Using your other hand push gently on the backside of the roll (inside your hand.) Keep pushing gently while your other hand stays in a circle and smooths the outside of the roll.
Continue until the roll is smooth and shaped into a ball. Then place them in the greased pan.

Cover the rolls with a damp towel and let rise in a warm area for 15 to 20 minutes.
The rolls should increase in size by about 50%

Remove the damp towel and bake at 375 degrees F for 14 to 17 minutes or until the rolls are slightly golden brown. The color will be very subtle so make sure you do not over cook. When the rolls start to brown put foil over the top to keep them from browning to much on top.
Serve warm with butter.
