Ingredients

  • 4 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1/2 cup warm water (110 deg to 115 deg F)
  • 2 cups warm milk (110 deg to 115 deg F)
  • 6 tablespoons shortening
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 7 cups all-purpose flour

Method

  • In a large mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water.
  • Add the milk, shortening, eggs, sugar, salt & 3 cups flour; beat until smooth.
  • Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
  • Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth & elastic, about 6-8 minutes (dough will be sticky).
  • Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover & let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
  • Punch dough down.
  • Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide into 24 pieces. Shape each into a roll.
  • Place 2 inches apart on greased baking sheets. Cover & let rises until doubled, about 30 minutes.
