I have been making cinnamon rolls and dinner rolls with this recipe since I was about 13. This recipe came from the Betty Crocker Picture Cookbook in the 60's. Ingredients:
1/2 cup warm water |
2 (1/4 ounce) packages active dry yeast |
1 1/2 cups milk, lukewarm |
1/2 cup sugar |
2 teaspoons salt |
2 eggs |
1/2 cup shortening |
7 -7 1/2 cups flour |
Directions:
1. Mix water and yeast in large mixing bowl.
2. Stir until dissolved.
3. Add milk, sugar salt, eggs, shortening and 1/2 of the flour.
4. Mix until smooth and pour out onto floured surface. Knead while adding the additional flour. Knead until smooth and elastic( about 5 minutes).
5. Round up in greased bowl with greased side up. Cover with damp cloth.
6. Let rise in warm place until double (about 1&1/2 hours).
7. Punch down; let rise again until almost double.
8. Dough is ready to to make into cinnamon rolls or dinner rolls now.
