I could probably cut this recipe in half for me and my husband, but I need to know approx. how many (and what size) rolls this recipe makes? Thanks.
I just want to say that a heaping tablespoon of instant yeast added to the warm milk is so much easier than the cake kind and in my opinion works better.

Punch down the dough, turn onto a floured surface and roll out to about a 1/2-inch thickness. Cut into rounds about 2-1/2 to 3 inches in size. Fold rounds in half lightly pressing together and place rolls close together on greased baking sheets or pans and brush all over with melted butter. Cover again, and place in a warm spot to allow to rise again, about 30 to 40 minutes. Bake in a preheated oven at 425 degrees F for approximately 15 minutes, or until nicely browned. Brush with additional melted butter if desired. This makes about 1-1/2 to 2 dozen yummy rolls, perfect for Thanksgiving dinner! (10/26/2006)
