Basic Roll Recipe - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 pkg. dry yeast
1/2 c. warm water
1 tsp. salt
1/2 c. sugar
2 eggs
5 Tbsp. shortening, melted
5 c. flour

Preparation

Dissolve yeast in 1/2 cup warm water; add salt and sugar.
Add eggs and beat. Melt the shortening in 1/2 cup hot water; add 1/2 cup cool water. When cooled to warm, add to first mixture. Stir in the flour, about half at a time.
Knead until of the right consistency, adding only a sprinkle of flour as needed to avoid being too stiff. Cover and let rise in a warm place. Shape and let double in bulk.
Bake in hot oven (400\u00b0) until lightly browned. Brush with melted butter.
