"These are by far the best rolls I've ever had! My neighbor's mom makes these and passed the recipe along. They are scrumptious! This recipe makes a lot of rolls. You can freeze the dough after forming it into rolls."

Directions
{{model.addEditText}} Print- In a large bowl, stir yeast into 1 cup warm water to dissolve. Stir in 1/4 cup sugar. In a separate large bowl, stir salt into 5 cups warm water to dissolve; stir in shortening and remaining 1/4 cup sugar. After yeast foams, stir salt mixture into yeast mixture.
- Mix in the 1/2 of the flour, and then mix in remaining flour 2 cups at a time, beating well after each addition. When the dough has pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead until smooth and elastic.
- Lightly oil a large bowl, place the dough in the bowl, and turn to coat with oil. Cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
- Form the dough into approximately 30 to 40 rounds. Place on lightly greased baking sheets. Cover the rolls with a damp cloth, and let rise until doubled in volume, about 40 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Bake rolls in preheated oven 15 to 20 minutes, or until brown. Serve warm.

These are dense, and quite bland. But oddly, the taste grows on you after that first bite... I think this might be better toasted, after being made in a loaf perhaps...

These are delish, and very VERY forgiving. Let me start by saying this is a LOT of dough. I recommend halving this recipe unless you have enough counter space for 40 LARGE rolls. Once they ris...

Well I put the recipe on here, but I have to rate it 5*****. This recipe is fabulous!! It does make a lot of dough, so be prepared for that. However, these rolls are one of a kind. Enjoy!
