Ingredients:

• 4 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
• 1/2 cup warm water (110 deg to 115 deg F)
• 2 cups warm milk (110 deg to 115 deg F)
• 6 tablespoons shortening
• 2 eggs
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
• 7 cups all-purpose flour

Directions:

1. 1
   In a large mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the milk, shortening, eggs, sugar, salt & 3 cups flour; beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
2. 2
   Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth & elastic, about 6-8 minutes (dough will be sticky). Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover & let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
3. 3
   Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide into 24 pieces. Shape each into a roll. Place 2 inches apart on greased baking sheets. Cover & let rises until doubled, about 30 minutes. Bake at 350 deg F for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to wire racks.
