These tender rolls will melt in your mouth. Mom would set out her big square-footed honey bowl with them - some sweet butter and a drizzle of honey on these rolls is a special treat. -Willa Govoro, St. Clair, Missouri

SERVINGS: 30

CATEGORY: Breads

METHOD: Baked

TIME: Prep: 45 min. + chilling Bake: 20 min.

Ingredients:

  • 2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast
  • 1 cup warm water (110° to 115°)
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 1 cup shortening
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 7-1/2 to 8 cups all-purpose flour

Directions:

In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the boiling water, shortening, sugar and salt. Allow to stand 3 to 4 minutes or until shortening is melted and sugar is dissolved. Add the yeast mixture and eggs and mix well. Add 2 cups of flour; beat until smooth. Add enough remaining flour to form a soft dough (do not knead).
    Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Turn dough onto a floured surface. Form a 2-1/2-in. ball. Roll into a 5-in. rope; shape into a knot. Repeat with remaining dough.
    Place on a greased baking sheet. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 30 minutes. Bake at 350° for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown. Yield: 2-1/2 dozen.

    Most bread recipes can be adapted to a bread machine. Just add the ingredients in the order in which your bread machine suggests. However, some larger bread recipes will have to be cut down to match your bread machine's capacity. I have a two pound bm and it would not handle a recipe that calls for 8 cups of flour, but I could half the recipe easily.

    Can these be made in the bread machine?
