A Sunday Bread Treat

Here is a real Sunday treat for you. I got this recipe from a basic skills Relief Society activity. I'm not really sure who to give credit to but it is delicious and pretty easy.

Refrigerator rolls

2 Tbsp yeast (2 packages)
1/2 cup warm water
1 Tbsp sugar
1 cup boiling water
1 cup shortening/margarine (or half and half)

Dissolve yeast and 1 Tbsp sugar in 1/2 cup warm water. Set aside. In large bowl, put boiling water and the shortening/margarine.

Add:
1 cup cold water
3/4 cup sugar
2 tsp salt
4 eggs

Beat well and add yeast.

Beat about 8 cups flour (2 cups at a time). Dough will be quite sticky. Cover container and place in refrigerator overnight. Dough will keep about a week.

Take dough from refrigerator and shape as desired. Raise until double (3 hours) (perfect for while you are at church). Bake at 375 degrees for 10-12 minutes. For whole wheat rolls, substitute stone ground flour for 1/2 white flour.

Our favorite thing to do with this kind of roll is to let them rise to be huge just before they might fall. Then bake them and you have this roll that's like a balloon. Of course they're only good when there hot and as far as left over goes good luck because when they cool they become to hard to really eat.
