Preparation

Step 1

1.In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water and set aside to proof.

2.In another bowl, mix together sugar, salt, shortening, and egg with an electric mixer at low speed. Add mixture to yeast, and stir in flour. The last 3 cups of flour will have to be mixed in by hand. (I mix in my stand mixer for about 2 minutes.)

3.Cover dough with a damp cloth, and place in refrigerator. Punch down occasionally as dough rises. You can leave dough in refrigerator overnight or a couple of days.

4.Two hours before baking, shape the dough into rolls. Place on greased pans, baking trays or muffin pans. Let rise 2 hours (or until doubled in size).

5. Brush tops with melted butter or egg wash (1 egg + 1 tsp. water. You can sprinkle with herbs or sesame or poppy seeds if desired.

6.Bake at 400 degrees F ( 205 degrees C) for 8 to 10 minutes.
