GRANDMA'S OLD-FASHIONED YEAST ROLLS

Steps:

• Dissolve yeast in warm water in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook. Stir in sugar and salt until you see foam rising. Add 3 cups flour and 3/4 cup shortening; mix with the dough hook until the mixture is the consistency of a thick pancake batter.
• Fill a pot with hot (not boiling) water.
• Remove the mixer bowl and cover it with plastic wrap and a towel. Place the bowl over the pot of hot water, making sure the bottom does not touch the water. Let rise until doubled in size, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
• Place the bowl back on your stand mixer and gradually mix in remaining 4 cups flour until dough is smooth and elastic; you may need to add up to 1 additional cup.
• Heavily grease two 9x13-inch pans with shortening.
• Divide dough into 24 balls. Place 12 balls into each of the prepared pans; cover with plastic wrap and a towel. Let rise in a warm area until doubled in size, about 1 hour; balls will start out at about 1 1/2 inches in diameter but will rise and touch the sides of the pans.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Bake rolls in the preheated oven until golden brown on top, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and brush melted butter over top.

MAMAW'S ROLLS RECIPE

Steps:

• 1. Mix the water, sugar, and yeast together in a small bowl or measuring glass. 2. In a large bowl mix together flour and salt. 3. Add in vegetable oil and start to mix. 4. Pour in dissolved yeast mixture and stir with your hands (They're gonna get messy). 5. Once it forms a ball dump onto a floured counter and knead. 6. Knead dough until it becomes smooth. 7. You may need to add a tablespoon or two more of water if the dough is too dry. 8. Once well-combined place dough in a large oiled bowl and cover with a damp cloth. 9. Place in a warm area of the house to rise for about an hour until the dough has doubled in size (I use my laundry room with the dryer running). 10. Once doubled if you poke it with your finger it shouldn't push back out. 11. Punch down dough. 12. To form even balls for your rolls split the dough in half then half each of those in half and so on and so on until you have 32 balls*. 13. Form rolls and place in a grease circular pie plate 7 around and one in a center. (I use disposable pan so I can freeze a lot). 14. Place covered in a warm place and allow to rise again for about an hour 15. Preheat oven to 350 degrees 16. Brush melted butter on the tops of the risen rolls Eating right away: 1.
