Beat in eggs and yeast. 3) Gradually stir in enough remaining flour, a little at a time, to make a soft dough that leaves the sides of bowl. Turn onto lightly floured board; knead until smooth, satiny and no longer sticky- 5 to 8 minutes. 4) Place in lightly greased bowl; invert to grease top. Cover and let rise in warm place until doubled, 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Punch down and turn onto board. Divide in half and shape as desired. 5) Brush tops with melted butter; let rise until doubled, 30 to 45 minutes. Bake in 375F oven 12 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown. Cloverleaf: Shape dough in long rolls 1 inch in diameter. Cut off 1-inch pieces and form each into a small ball. Place 3 balls in each greased muffin pan cup. Butterhorns: Roll dough 1/4-inch thick into a 12-inch circle. Brush with melted butter or margarine and cut into 16 pie-shaped pieces. Starting at wide (curved) end, roll up. With point end down, place on greased baking sheet 2 inches apart. Curve ends of each roll on baking sheet to create crescent shapes. Pan Rolls: Shape dough in 2-inch balls. Dip in melted butter or margarine. Place in greased round layer cake pans, letting balls just touch one another.
