YEAST ROLLS REFRIGERATOR

By gaster16

Ingredients

• Orange butter:
• 1 envelope dry active yeast
• 2 cups warm water (105 to 115 degrees)
• 6 cups bread flour
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup shortening
• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 cup butter melted
• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 1/4 cup orange marmalade

Preparation

Step 1

Stir together yeast and warm water in a medium bowl, let mixture stand 5 minutes. Stir together flour, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Cut shortening into flour mixture with a pastry blender until crumbly, stir in yeast mixture and eggs just until blended. Do not over mix. Cover and chill 8 hours.

Roll dough to 3/4" thick on a well-floured surface (dough will be soft) cut with a 1-1/2" round cutter, rerolling dough scraps as needed.

Brush rounds with melted butter. Make a crease across each round with a knife, and fold rounds in half, gently pressing edges together to seal. Place in a 15 x 10" jelly roll pan and a 9" cake pan. Edges of dough should touch. Cover and let rise in a warm place (85 degrees) free from draft, 45 minutes or until doubled in bulk. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Bake rolls 8 to 10 minutes or until golden.

Orange Butter:

Stir together butter and marmalade until blended. Serve immediately or cover and chill until ready to serve. Store in an air tight container in refrigerator up to 1 week.
