“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 into rolls.” - by SAXYBONE

Original recipe yields 40 rolls
Directions
- 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.

"Yes! Very yummy and easy to work with. I've made them according to the recipe and also with a couple of substitutions. I liked them better with melted butter in place of the crisco. A couple of cups o..." See moref whole wheat flour also works well. I used 2 cups in a half recipe. And I did the math figuring that a 5 lb bag of flour is about 19 cups. If you halve the recipe it's about 9 1/2."

"I just got done making a batch. I made exactly 40 but froze all but 7.. I would suggest making them smaller because 7 took up an entire cookie sheet... if I'd known how much they would rise I would ha..." See moreve done 80 instead... I also would recommend mixing by hand... it worked best for me to just use my hands to mix the ingredients and like the lady above said its a little too much dough for a mixer."

"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 rise, the..." See morey look like individual bread loaves. Now the forgiving. Even though I had to go to the store to get more flour, and wait through a power outage, these turned out perfect. A little firm on the outside, nice and soft inside with a great mild salty flavor. I'll make these a lot. I didn't change anything, but I think if I lived somewhere with saltwater that would be great to try!"
