By á-3948

Ingredients

• 2 (.25 ounce) packages active dry yeast
• 3/4 cup warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
• 1/2 cup white sugar (or Sugar Substitute)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup shortening (I used butter)
• 4 cups all-purpose flour (I used Whole Wheat)
• 1/4 cup butter, softened

Preparation

Step 1

Dissolve yeast in warm water.
Stir in sugar, salt, eggs, shortening, and 2 cups of flour. Beat until smooth. Mix in remaining flour until smooth. Scrape dough from side of bowl. Knead dough, then cover it and let rise in a warm place until double (about 1-1/2 hours).
Punch down dough. Divide in half. Roll each half into a 12-inch circle. Spread with butter. Cut into 10 to 15 wedge. Roll up the wedges starting with the wide end. Place rolls with point under on a greased baking sheet. Cover and let rise until double (about 1 hour).
Bake at 400 degrees F (205 degrees C) for 12-15 minute or until golden brown. Brush tops with butter when they come out.
