Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 Tbsp margarine
1/3 c shortening
3/4 c sugar
1 Tbsp sugar
3 large eggs
4 pkg active dry yeast (1/4 oz. size)
1/2 c lukewarm water
7 1/2 c all-purpose flour
1 Tbsp salt
1 1/4 c milk

Steps:

  • 1. Cream margarine and shortening with sugar until light.
  • 2. Add eggs slowly, blending well between each addition.
  • 3. Dissolve yeast in lukewarm water (110 degrees; be sure that water is not too hot).
  • 4. Sift together flour and salt.
  • 5. Add half of the flour to the egg mixture and mix well.
  • 6. Then add half of the milk to the egg mixture and mix well.
  • 7. Add dissolved yeast.
  • 8. Add remainder of milk and flour to make a soft dough.
  • 9. Cover dough; let rest for 10 minutes.
  • 10. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8 to 10 minutes or until dough is smooth and elastic.
  • 11. Place dough in a lightly greased bowl large enough to hold the dough when doubled in size, turning once to grease the surface.
  • 12. Cover; let rise in a warm place (90 F) until double in size (about 2 hours).
  • 13. Fold dough over from 4 sides to knead lightly.
  • 14. Cover and let rise again until double in size.
  • 15. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and shape as desired.

  • 18. Let rise in a warm place (90 F) until double in size (about 25 to 30 minutes). Do not let rolls "over-rise". Bake in a pre-heated 350 F oven until both the top and bottom of rolls are golden brown, about 10 to 12 minutes.
  • 19. Remove from oven and brush top of rolls with melted margarine.
