These rolls are what my Mother in law calls her "ugly rolls". I've never thought they were ugly, but so absolutely delicious! The great thing is you can keep the dough in the refrigerator for days and use it as you want. Read more See less

Ingredients

How to make it

Stir together the warm water, yeast and sugar, set aside.
Sift the flour and salt together, set aside
Cream the shortening and egg until fluffy
Add the water mixture to the egg mixture and then add the flour mixture until combined
Knead the dough until smooth and elastic, 3 to 5 minutes - either by hand or in a stand mixer with a kneading hook
Put in an un-greased bowl, grease the top of the dough only, you can do this by spraying with Pam
Cover with a damp cloth and put in the refrigerator
Use when desired, by pinching off enough to form a ball about 1/2 the size of your fist - just make as many as you need at the time
Allow to rise for about 2 hours
Bake at 400 degrees for 1- to 15 minutes until golden
**I think the dough will last about 5 days in the refrigerator...but we've never not used it that long!

These were keepers my family said. That is really saying something because I have tried so many roll recipes looking for one that satisfied everyone. This was easy, conveinient, and stayed moist after baking and reheating. It makes a nice amount as well. This is great for beginner bakers too, thanks. Also, I thought they were nice looking rolls, not ugly at all. LOL

Yes, I believe I have that recipe from back in the 70's...sooooo good, and way too convenient! You are so right, debzy, in that the dough never lasts 5 days in the fridge...more like 5 minutes!! Hot bread from the oven - delish...Krum
