2 (1/4-ounce) packages active dry yeast
1-1/2 cups warm water (110° to 115°)
1/2 cup plus 2 teaspoons sugar, divided
1-1/2 cups warm milk (110° to 115°)
1/4 cup vegetable oil
4 teaspoons salt
7-1/2 to 8-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
butter or margarine, melted

In a large mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in water. Add 2 teaspoons sugar let stand for 5 minutes. Add milk, oil, salt and remaining sugar. Add enough flour to form a stiff dough. Turn out onto a floured surface knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1-1/2 hours. Punch dough down. Divide into four pieces. Cover three pieces with plastic wrap. Divide one piece into 12 balls. To form knots, roll each ball into a 10-in. rope tie into a knot and pinch ends together. Repeat with remaining dough. Place rolls on greased baking sheets brush with melted butter. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 20-30 minutes. To serve immediately, bake at 375° for 15-18 minutes. To freeze for later use, partially bake at 300° for 15 minutes. Allow to cool freeze. Reheat frozen rolls at 375° for 12-15 minutes or until browned.
