INGREDIENTS:
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 (1/4 ounce) packages active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup nonfat dry milk
- 1 1/4 cups warm water (105 to 115 degrees F)
- 1 large egg slightly beaten
- 8 tablespoons butter melted
- 2 tablespoons butter flavored vegetable shortening
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Place 2 cups flour in a large mixing bowl. Add yeast, salt, sugar and dry milk. Set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, combine water and egg and stir to blend.
- Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour water mixture into the well. Mix by hand, beating 150 strokes and frequently scraping bottom and sides of bowl.
- Add 1/2 (4 Tbsp) of the melted butter and beat to incorporate. Add remaining flour (1 C), about 1/3 cup at a time, beating to incorporate each addition.
- Cover bowl with plastic wrap. Set dough in a warm, draft free place such as oven with a pan of the hottest tap water on the rack below. Allow batter to rise until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.
- Coat cups, bottoms and sides of 12 cup muffin pan (or two small round pans) with shortening.
- Punch down batter (batter will be extremely soft and sticky). Drop by hand or spoonful into prepared muffin cups to make 12 rolls (or in pan touching the next).
- Brush dough with 1/2 of the remaining melted butter (2 Tbsp). Let rise uncovered in a warm draft free place until doubled in bulk, about 30 minutes.
- In preheated 400 degree oven, bake rolls on middle rack for 16-18 minutes. Brush tops of baked rolls with the remaining melted butter (2 Tbsp).
