Dinner Rolls - Recipe from How To Cook Everything

I purchased Mark Bittman's book "How To Cook Everything"
from a yard sale last summer and it quickly has become my favorite go to cookbook.

I made these rolls as written and didn't make any modifications to the recipe.  They only took a couple of hours to make but most of that was to allow the dough time to rise.  

The recipe was supposed to yield 20 rolls but the weights of my rolls varied
 somewhat so I ended up with 19 and some dough left over to nibble on. We devoured all but one, I consider this a successful afternoon.
