Preparation
Step 1
1. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water.
Add the milk, egg, sugar, shortening, salt and
2 cups flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough
remaining flour to form a soft dough.
2. Turn on 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; shape into 32 pieces. To
form knots, roll each piece into a 10-in. rope;
tie each into a knot and tuck ends under.
Place 2 in. apart on greased baking sheets.
Cover and let rise in a warm place until
doubled, about 25 minutes.
4. Bake at 400° for 13-16 minutes or until golden
brown. Remove from pans to wire racks.
