Mary s Homemade Rolls Preparation
Warm a large bowl with warm water. Dissolve the yeast in the lukewarm water in this bowl. Add the sugar, salt, egg and shortening and stir. Slowly add the flour, stirring after each addition to fully incorporate the flour. Add the flour until the dough forms a ball. Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and let the dough rise in a warm, draft free place until it doubles in volume, or about 2 hours. Punch the dough down with your fist and turn it out onto a lightly floured board. The dough will be light and sticky. Knead the dough and add an extra cup of flour as needed. Knead until blisters form on the dough. Roll out or pat to 1/4 to 1/2 inch thickness. Cut with a biscuit cutter. Fold with a piece of butter inserted in the fold. Place rolls in a well-buttered pan approximately 2 hours before baking and let rise. Bake in a preheated 375
