From another forum...
I use my 2 pound bread maker. (You could do it without a bread maker. Knead dough until elastic 7- 10 minutes, cover and let dough rise until double, punch down, rise again, then make rolls.)
yields 18 small fist sized rolls
12 ounces warm milk (I warm it 60 seconds in the microwave))
2 tsp salt
1 large egg (warm uncracked egg in a cup of hot water, while milk is warming in the microwave)
2 Tbsp warm water
2 Tbsp butter
6 cups all purpose flour
4 1/2 tsp sugar
1 Tbsp yeast
Add ingredients to bread maker in order listed. set dough setting.
when finished, dump from pan onto a flour dusted cutting board. Use very little extra flour. To prevent the dough from drying while you work, cover the dough with a piece of plastic wrap sprayed with non-stick spray.
Preheat your oven to 100 degrees, then turn it off.
Spray a 9X13 pan with nonstick spray or grease the pan with crisco.
Very lightly flour your hands. Pinch off a piece of the dough about the size that would fit cupped in the palm of your hand (bigger than a golf ball, smaller than a tennis ball). Shape it into a ball, stretch the sides and pull them under to the bottom, so the top of your roll is smooth. Place it in the pan. Repeat the process for each roll and place them 1-2 inches apart. 12 to a pan (rows 3X4). You will have 6 rolls left for another pan.
You could also cut your dough on the cutting board into 18 equal sized pieces instead of pinching, then shape them into balls. I pinch them because I like to handle the dough as little as possible.
Once the rolls are in the pan, I cover the pan with a piece of plastic wrap sprayed with nonstick spray. I place them in the 100 degree oven until doubled in size. Remove pans from the oven while you preheat it to 375. Remove the plastic wrap then bake at 375 for 12-15 minutes. Immediately when the pan comes from the oven, I brush them with melted butter, then remove them from the pan.
I mix honey butter, 1 Tbsp butter to 1 tsp honey.
Yummy on hot from the oven rolls.
edited to add, I have a convection oven, you may need to add a couple of minutes to the bake time.

Here are some freezing instructions from someone else...
I freeze rolls all the time. I place them on a cookie sheet in the freezer until they are hard. Then I put them in a ziploc bag. To unthaw and use
1. Turn oven on to 200 with a pan of water in the bottom. When it heats up - turn it off.
2. Spray 9x13 pan, place rolls in pan.
3. Put pan in oven and let rise.
4. Take rolls out/ turn on oven to 375 then bake until golden brown.
If I have them rising on the stove top I cover them with a clean light dishtowel.
Made this recipe the other day and the frozen ones I thawed out, let rise, and we had them with dinner. Yum!!!
