Best. Rolls. Ever

I LOVE really good bread. I could eat a whole batch of delicious homemade rolls. Throw in some homemade raspberry or peach jam and we're in big trouble...These are by far my favorite basic dinner roll...Melt in your mouth deliciousness! Note: This recipe is easy but must be thought through ahead of time as the dough needs to be refrigerated overnight. It also makes a ton of rolls...be prepared to share with friends! Yield: 48-56 crescent rolls
