Ingredients
-
2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast
-
1/3 cup warm water (110° to 115°)
-
2 cups warm 2% milk (110° to 115°)
-
1 cup shortening
-
1 cup sugar
-
6 large eggs, room temperature
-
2 teaspoon salt
-
9 cups all-purpose flour, divided
-
3 to 4 tablespoons butter, melted
Directions
-
1.
In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in water. Add milk, shortening, sugar, eggs, salt and 4 cups flour; beat 3 minutes or until smooth. Add enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
-
2.
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 hours.
-
3.
Punch dough down; divide into 4 equal parts. Roll each into a 9-in. circle; brush with butter. Cut each circle into 8 pie-shaped wedges; roll up each wedge from wide edge to tip of dough and pinch to seal.
-
4.
Place rolls with tip down on baking sheets; freeze. Transfer to airtight freezer containers; freeze up to 4 weeks.

5.
To use frozen rolls: Arrange frozen rolls 2 in. apart on greased baking sheets. Cover with lightly greased plastic wrap; thaw in the refrigerator overnight. To bake, preheat oven to 375°. Let rolls rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour. Bake until golden brown, 12-15 minutes. Serve warm.
