My husband, who is the baker in our family, found these on another recipe site & they were great. Soft & delicious.
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
Directions:
1. In a large mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water.
2. Add the milk, shortening, eggs, sugar, salt & 3 cups flour; beat until smooth.
3. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
4. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth & elastic, about 6-8 minutes (dough will be sticky).
5. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover & let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
6. Punch dough down.
7. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide into 24 pieces. Shape each into a roll.
8. Place 2 inches apart on greased baking sheets. Cover & let rises until doubled, about 30 minutes.
9. Bake at 350 deg F for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to wire racks.
