Course: Breads & Rolls
1st Gen Author: Alane Watkins

Ingredients

  • 4 eggs  (beat, add water to equal 1 c)
  • 3 Tbsp Yeast
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • 1 Tbsp salt
  • ½ cup butter*
  • ½ cup Shortening* *I equal these two amounts together and replace with canola oil.  It doesn’t seem to change the taste of the rolls. 
  • cups water
  • 9-10 cups flour

Instructions

  • Mix together Eggs, Yeast, sugar, salt, shortening/butter (oil), and warm water.
  • Gradually stir in flour until mixture is pulls away from the side of the bowl (if using mixer) yet is still a bit sticky (may take more or less flour).
  • This is a soft dough.
  • Divide mixture into four equal balls and roll each ball flat until it makes about a 12 inch circle.
  • With a pizza cutter or knife, cut the circle into twelve equal pie shaped wedges.
  • Roll wedges from long to pointed end.
  • Place roll pointed end down on cookie sheet.
  • Bake at 350 for about 20 minutes or until golden brown.
