Description

Ingredients

• 1 cup hot water (120-130 degrees)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 6 tablespoons shortening or butter flavor Crisco
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 pack dry granular yeast (or 1 tablespoon)
• 2 tablespoons luke warm water
• 1 egg, beaten
• 3-4 cups flour, (bread flour or regular flour)
• 2 tablespoons melted butter

Directions

• Combine hot water, salt, shortening and sugar.
• Separately, dissolve yeast in 2 tablespoons warm water.
• Allow shortening mixture to cool to lukewarm.
• Add in dissolved yeast mixture.
• Using a stand mixer, combine the above with beaten egg and enough flour to make a soft dough.
• Start by adding 3 cups flour, continue adding more flour if still sticky, up to 4 cups.
• (I usually use about 3 1/2 cups)
• Cover and refrigerate dough several hours or overnight.
• Briefly knead dough by turning it over onto itself several times to smooth it out.
• Divide into sixteen equal portions using kitchen shears or a sharp knife.
• Shape into 16 round dough balls and place evenly spaced in greased 9 X 13 baking pan.
• Let rise 1-2 hours or until almost doubled in bulk.
• (Rising in a warm oven cuts the rising time in half.)
• Gently brush with 2 tablespoons melted butter just before baking.
• Bake in a 400 degree oven ten minutes or til lightly browned.
