Extra Special Rolls
Ingredients
Instructions
-
In large bowl, dissolve yeast in 3 tablespoons warm water. Let stand for 5 minutes.
-
Add sugar, shortening, eggs, 1 cup warm water, salt, and 2 cups of flour. Beat at low speed of mixer for 1 minute. Gradually stir in enough remaining flour to make a soft dough.
-
Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead 5 minutes or until smooth and elastic. Shape into a ball and place in a well-greased bowl, turning to coat. Cover and let rise in a warm place for about one hour or until doubled in size.
-
Punch down and divide into fourths. Roll each into a 12 inch circle and brush with butter. Cut each circle into 8 wedges. Roll each wedge beginning with widest end. Place on parchment paper covered baking sheet with point side down to prevent unrolling while continuing to rise. Cover and continue to let rise another hour or until roughly doubled in size.
-
Bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes or until lightly golden brown.
