Ingredients:
1 cup water |
1/2 cup shortening |
1 (1/4-ounce) envelope active dry yeast |
1/2 cup warm water (100° to 110°) |
1 teaspoon sugar |
2 large eggs |
1/2 cup sugar |
1 teaspoon salt |
5 cups bread flour |
1/4 to 1/2 cup butter, melted |
Directions:
1. Pour 1 cup boiling water over shortening in a large bowl, stirring to melt shortening. Let stand 30 minutes or until completely cooled.Stir together yeast, 1/2 cup warm water, and 1 teaspoon sugar in a glass measuring cup; let stand 5 minutes. Beat eggs at medium speed using a heavy-duty stand mixer; add 1/2 cup sugar and salt. Add shortening mixture and yeast mixture. Reduce speed to low, and gradually add 5 cups flour, beating until blended.Cover and chill dough 12 hours or up to 5 days.Turn dough out on a lightly floured surface, and roll to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut with a lightly floured 2 1/2-inch round cutter. Make a crease across the middle of each dough round with a knife, and fold in half; gently press edges to seal. Place rolls on lightly greased baking sheets.Cover and let rise in a warm place (85°), free from drafts, 1 1/2 hours or until doubled in bulk. Brush rolls evenly with melted butter.Bake at 400° for about 15 minutes or until golden brown. Brush again with melted butter, if desired.
