Steps:

• Dissolve yeast in warm water in a mixing bowl. Let stand until yeast is frothy, about 5 minutes.
• Add 2 cups flour, sugar, and salt to the yeast mixture. Beat with an electric mixer for 2 minutes. Add shortening and eggs; beat for 2 minutes more. Slowly add remaining flour and mix well. Let dough rise in a warm place, undisturbed, until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
• Punch down dough and divide into 42 pieces. Shape each piece into a ball and arrange on a rimmed baking sheet. Let rolls rise in a warm spot, undisturbed, until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and gently brush tops with butter.

Steps:

• Pour milk into a glass 2-cup measuring cup and heat in the microwave until it starts to boil and climb the sides, about 1 minute. Add butter, 1/4 cup sugar, and salt to the scalded milk; set aside to cool until it gets below 110 degrees F (45 degrees C).
• Dissolve yeast and 1 teaspoon sugar in warm water in a large bowl. Let stand until the yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam, about 10 minutes.
• Pour milk mixture into the yeast mixture; add 2 cups bread flour and egg. Stir the mixture with a wooden spoon until smooth. Add remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition, until the dough is smooth and a little tacky.
• Turn dough out onto a sheet of flour-dusted waxed paper and lightly knead to pull dough together; shape into a ball. Place dough in a large, lightly-oiled bowl, and turn to coat. Cover with a towel and let rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Divide dough into thirds. Break each third into six evenly sized balls and arrange onto prepared baking sheet. Cover balls with a towel to rise further for another 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Bake in preheated oven until browned, about 15 minutes.

Steps:

• 1. In a large mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in the warm water. Add sugar, salt, shortening & 3 cups of flour. Mix until pancake batter consistency (it will look chunky, because the Crisco will not be completely melted). Cover with plastic wrap & set on top of pan ½ filled with hot (not boiling) water. Cover with towel & let rise until double in a warm area (about 30 - 45 minutes).
• 2. When doubled, stir in remaining flour & knead until smooth & elastic. Dough will be soft & slightly sticky. Divide into 24 parts & form balls of dough. Place in two 9X13 pans, cover again with plastic wrap and a towel, let rise an additional 30 to 45 minutes or until doubled.
• 3. Bake in a preheated 375 degrees oven for 25 minutes, or until golden brown. Brush with melted butter or margarine.

Steps:

• Bring milk, sugar, salt, and 2 tablespoons butter to a simmer in a large saucepan, stirring until sugar and salt have dissolved and butter has melted. Remove from heat, and let cool to 110 degrees.
• Meanwhile, sprinkle yeast over warm water in a small bowl, and let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes. Stir into milk mixture. Add 5 cups flour, and stir until a stiff dough forms (if dough is too sticky, add more flour, 1/4 cup at a time).
• Turn out dough on a lightly floured work surface, and knead until smooth. Transfer to a large buttered bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let rise in a warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, about 2 hours.
• Divide dough into 24 pieces. Roll each piece into a smooth ball. Space 2 inches apart on buttered baking sheets, and cover each with a towel. Let rise until doubled in size, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter, and lightly brush on top of rolls. Decorate with rosemary if desired. Bake until golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Let cool on sheets on wire racks.

• 2. Using two 9 inch glass pie plates, either use vegetable oil spray, or vegetable oil to grease pans. Pour out onto to floured dough board or counter. Work in enough dough to be able to pinch off pieces. and make into rolls.
• 3. Usually when I'm making my rolls, I cover my hands with vegetable oil, and usually have a small amount in the pie plates where I can put the roll into the pan, then turn it over where the top of the roll is oiled.
• 4. Set rolls aside, covered with paper towels and out of any drafts, again until doubled in size, approx. 1/2 - 2 hours. Bake in oven until golden brown, approx. 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Dissolve yeast in warm water.

• Beat in the eggs and shortening.

• Scrape down the sides of bowl, and cover with a cloth, and let rise in a warm place, until doubled in bulk (approx. 30 minutes).
• Stir down the dough.
• Add more sifted flour until it can be worked with hands (just add gradually until it feels right).
• Knead a few times, not a lot; just get it worked in and ready to pinch off into rolls.
• Pinch the rolls off (medium sized), and place in a greased pan.
• It may take two pans; one small, and one larger, for all the dough.
• You can also make loaves of bread out of it.
• Allow it to rise again, until doubled in bulk.
• Bake at 375-400 for 15-20 minutes .
• When done, brush with butter (while hot).
• Note: You can also use this recipe to make bread loaves (it should make 2 loaves in traditional bread pans), or cinnamon rolls.
• For the cinnamon rolls, roll the dough out, sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar, and roll up like a jelly roll.
• Slice off, place in a baking pan, and bake at the same temperature as the rolls, until done.
• Coat with frosting made with powdered sugar, milk, and a dash of vanilla.
