Original Recipe Yield 32 servings
 

Ingredients

  • 2 (.25 ounce) packages active dry yeast
  • 1/3 cup warm water (110 to 115 degrees F)
  • 9 cups all-purpose flour, divided
  • 2 cups warm milk (110 to 115 degrees F)
  • 1 cup shortening
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 6 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 3 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted

Directions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in water. Add 4 cups flour, milk, shortening, sugar, eggs and salt; beat for 2 minutes or until smooth. Add enough remaining flour to form a soft dough. Turn onto a floured surface; knead lightly. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 2-3 hours. Punch dough down; divided into four equal parts. Roll each into a 9-in. circle; brush with butter. Cut each circle into eight pie-shaped wedges; roll up each wedge form wide edge to tip of dough and pinch to seal . Place rolls with tip down on baking sheets; freeze. When frozen, place in freezer bags and seal. Store in freezer for up to 4 weeks.
  2. To bake, place on greased baking sheets; thaw 5 hours or until doubled in size. Bake at 375 degrees F for 12-15 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from baking sheets and serve immediately or cool on wire rack.
