Yields: approximately 24 rolls, depending on size.
2 cups warm water
2 packages dry yeast
½ cup sugar
½ cup vegetable oil
1 egg, slightly beaten
2 teaspoons salt
Approximately 6 cups all-purpose flour
Pour warm water into large mixing bowl. Add yeast and sugar, and let sit for about 5 minutes. Add oil, egg, and salt, and stir well. Slowly stir in flour, and store in refrigerator until ready to roll out, at least 3 hours or up to a few days. Roll out on a well-floured breadboard, working extra flour into sticky dough until it does not stick when you roll it out. Cut with biscuit cutter, dipping cutter in flour often. Place on greased cookie sheet, and let rise in warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size. Bake at 350° until brown.

Why does this Haywood County town have some of the cleanest water in the state? It’s the result of the community’s efforts to keep the forests in its watershed pristine.
The spectacular views in North Carolina’s High Country aren’t just inspiration for writers, painters, and sculptors. Those landscapes — the rugged gray face of Grandfather Mountain, the vibrant fall leaves, the deep green meadows — are brushstrokes on Earth’s own canvas.
The sprawling vineyards and wide-open skies that stretch for miles across seven North Carolina counties offer relaxing getaways — not to mention some of the state’s finest wines — for Sunday drivers aching to escape the rush of city life.
Nothing lasts forever — and that’s what makes many of our cherished moments so special.
