Lion House Rolls


2 T. yeast
2 c. warm water (110-115 degrees)
1/3 c. sugar
1/3 c. shortening (butter or margarine also works)
2 1/2 t. salt
2/3 c. nonfat dry milk
5-6 c. flour
1 egg

In the mixer, combine yeast & water. Let stand 5 minutes. Add sugar, shortening, salt, dry milk, 2 c. flour & egg. Beat together until very smooth. Add 2 more cups of flour, one at a time, & beat until smooth.
Add about one more cup of flour, 1/2 c. at a time until it is mixed in. Turn dough onto a slightly floured board & kneed until it is smooth & satiny.Gather dough into a ball. Scrape bowl clean & spray with nonstick cooking spray. Return dough to bowl. Let rise until about triple in size (about 1 hour).
Use the last of the flour on the board for rolling & shaping. Don't use all of the flour unless needed. Let dough rest on board for 10 minutes. Cut or mold into desired shapes. Place on greased baking sheets. Brush surface of rolls with melted butter. Let rise until ready for the oven (about 1 1/2 hrs.) Bake at 400 degrees for 15-20 minutes, or until browned to your satisfaction. Makes about 3 dozen rolls. Great with Honey butter.
