Ingredients
-
2 (.25 ounce) packages active dry yeast
-
2 cups warm water
-
6 ½ cups all-purpose flour
-
½ cup white sugar
-
1 teaspoon salt
-
½ cup melted shortening
-
2 large eggs
-
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, or as needed
Directions
-
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.
-
Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and gently brush tops with butter.
Cook's Note:
You can use vegetable oil instead of shortening.
