Overnight Rolls Recipe

Ingredients

2 packets Active Dry Yeast

2 1/2 cups Room Temperature Water

3/4 cup Butter Flavored Crisco

3/4 cup Sugar

2 1/2 teaspoons Salt

2 Eggs

8 cups Sifted Flour

4 tablespoons Butter

In a large mixing bowl, soften 2 packages of active dry yeast in 2 1/2 cups of room temperature water

Add in 3/4 cup butter-flavored Crisco, 3/4 cup sugar, 2 1/2 teaspoons of salt, mix into bowl

Beat 2 eggs and mix into bowl

Add first 4 cups of sifted flour, mix to begin forming dough

1 cup at a time, add remaining sifted flour until dough forms and is slightly tacky. Be mindful not to overwork the dough.

Cover with lid, and refrigerate over night (keeps 3-4 days)

Use butter-flavored Crisco to lightly coat three, 9 x 9 baking pans

Form into rolls, a little larger than a golf-ball (9 per pan, rolls should have a little space between them)

Let rise for 1 hour in warm room

Preheat oven to 400°

Bake 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown

Melt 4 tablespoons butter and apply to top of rolls with pastry brush
