Ingredients

  • 1 package Dry active yeast
  • ½ cup Warm water
  • ½ cup Shortening
  • ½ cup Sugar
  • 1 Egg beaten
  • 2 cups Warm water
  • 1 ½ teaspoons Salt
  • 8 cups All-purpose Flour sifted

Instructions

  • Sprinkle yeast over ½ cup of warm water letting it sit for about 5 minutes.
  • While the yeast dissolves place the shortening and sugar in the bowl of your stand mixer and cream them together.
  • Add the beaten egg, 2 cups of warm water, salt, and yeast mixture to the bowl and begin to mix.
  • Add flour 1 cup at a time continuing to mix until the ingredients are thoroughly combined and your dough is formed.
  • Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and pat it into a large ball. Place it in a large bowl lightly greased with vegetable oil or olive oil. Rub a little of the oil over the top of the dough to keep it from drying out.
  • Cover the dish with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator overnight.
  • When ready to use shape the dough into 3 oz small balls and place them in a greased baking pan. Let the dough rise in a warm place for about 3 hours.
  • Bake at 400 degrees F for 20 minutes

Notes

Note: Make sure you sift the flour and fill right up the the 1 cup line.
