Directions:Preparation:
Add the warm water to the yeast and soak 10 minutes.
Scald milk; pour over the shortening. Add sugar and salt and cool to tepid. Add the dissolved yeast and beaten egg. Add 4 cups flour adding one at a time beating after each addition.
Dough should be soft yet firm enough to handle. Knead on floured board until elastic and smooth. Avoid too much flour. Turn dough into well oiled bowl. Let rise for 1-1/2 hours.
Press dough down and divide into workable size. Roll dough out into a 12 x 18 inch rectangle. Cover with melted butter. Layer with a generous thick layer of brown sugar. Sprinkle on cinnamon as desired. If you like, add optional igredients. Roll up jellyroll fashion.
Using a scissors or serrated knife, cut off slices about 1 to 1-1/2 inches thick. Place slices in a 9 by 13 baking dish. Press rolls down to even out and fill pan. Let rise until rolls fill the pan generously...about another hour.
Bake in a 350 degree F oven about 15 - 20 minutes (tends to take me almost 25). If rolls get too brown, cover with a piece of tine foil until the end of baking. Do not over bake rolls. |
