Want to do something special for a good friend or neighbor? Bake them a pan of these melt-in-your-mouth rolls! Ingredients:
2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast |
1 teaspoon plus 2/3 cup sugar, divided |
1 cup warm water (110° to 115°) |
1/2 cup butter, softened |
1/2 cup shortening |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 cup boiling water |
2 eggs |
7 to 7-1/2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, dissolve yeast and 1 teaspoon sugar in warm water; let stand for 5 minutes. In a large bowl, cream the butter, shortening, salt and remaining sugar until light and fluffy. Add boiling water; cool to 110°-115°. Add eggs and yeast mixture; beat until smooth. Stir in enough flour to form a soft dough.
2. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
3. Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide into thirds. Divide each portion into nine pieces; shape into balls. Place in three greased 9-in. round baking pans. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes.
4. Bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Cool in pans on wire racks. Yield: 27 rolls.
