Hot Rolls - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 pkg. yeast
1 c. warm water
1 egg
3 Tbsp. sugar
2 Tbsp. shortening
1/2 tsp. salt
3 to 3 1/2 c. all-purpose flour

Preparation

Dissolve yeast in warm water in a large mixing bowl.
Let stand five minutes.
Add sugar, shortening, egg, salt and half of the flour; beat at low speed until smooth.
Stir in remaining flour to make a soft dough.
(I find it is best to reserve part of the flour to knead the bread with.) Knead 8 or 10 times.
Place in well-greased bowl.
Cover and let rise until doubled.
Punch dough down on lightly floured surface and knead 4 or 5 times.
Grease hands well and shape in rolls.
Let rise again.
Bake at 400\u00b0 until golden.
