Cresent Rolls (Melinda)

with electric hand mixer beat:
3 eggs
1/2 cup sugar
2 tsp. salt
1/2 cup margarine (soft), not butter
1 1/4 cup warm water
2 TB yeast
1 cup flour
Beat in 1 more cup flour and 1 cup wheat flour
Then by hand add 1 1/2 cups flour ( 4 1/2 cups total flour)
Cover and refridgerate.
This is a super sticky dough, but it firms up in the fridge...don't add extra flour!
Separate dough in half to roll out. Roll in a big circle like a pizza. Brush with melted butter. Use a pizza cutter and cut into 16 sections. ( Just keep dividing each cut until you have done eight cuts)Roll into cresent shapes-starting at the biggest end. Place on cookie sheet and let rise for 3 hours, 2 if it is really hot. bake at 400 for 10-12 minutes.
You can use this dough for cinnamon rolls and orange rolls too.
