Ingredients

3/4 c. milk
1/2 c. shortening
1/2 c. sugar
1 tsp. salt
2 pkg. active dry yeast
1/2 c. warm water (110~ to 115~)
4 1/4 to 4 3/4 c. sifted flour

Preparation

Scald milk, add shortening, sugar and salt.
Cool to lukewarm. Sprinkle yeast on warm water, stir to dissolve.
Add 1 1/2 cups flour to milk mixture; beat well by hand or electric mixer at low speed for 1 minute.
Beat in yeast and eggs.
Gradually stir in enough remaining flour a little at a time, to make a soft dough that leaves the sides of bowl.
Turn onto lightly floured board; knead until smooth, satiny and no longer sticky (5 to 8 minutes). Place in lightly greased bowl.
Invert to grease top; cover and let rise in warm place until doubled.
Divide in 1/2 and shape as desired.
Brush tops lightly with melted butter.
Let rise until double, 30 to 45 minutes.
