ROLLS by Kami
4 cups HOT water
1/2 cup shortening
2/3 cup sugar
2 tbls salt
3 eggs
1 cup of milk
2 1/2 tbls yeast
4 cups of flour
1. Mix first 6 ingredients together in a large bowl. The temperature of it should be very warm to the touch by the time you get it together.
2. Next add the Yeast and flour. Mix very carefully. Let it sit for at least 15 minutes, or until you see the yeast reacting well with the mixture. Then add flour (There is no set amount, just sticky enough to pull from the bowl and your fingers.)
3. Knead for a good 10 minutes. (This is the secret to making bread: Let as much of it get exposed to the air as possible.)
4. Let it rise double its size. (Takes about 45 minutes-1 hour) Punch it down and make them into rolls. Let those rise to however big you want them…the longer, the fluffier.
5. Bake at 350 degrees. Then you snarf them!
