Lion House Dinner Rolls

2 packages yeast
2 cups warm water (110-115 F)
1/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup shortening (butter, margarine or vegetable shortening)
2 1/2 teaspoons salt
2/3 cup nonfat dry ilk
5 to 6 cups flour
1 egg

In the large bowl of an electric mixer, combine yeast and water.  Let stand 5 minutes.  Add sugar shortening, salt, dry milk, 2 cups flour, and egg.  Beat together until very smooth.  Add 2 more cups flour, one at a time, and beat until smooth.  

Add about one more cup flour, 1/2 cup at a time (in your mixer if it will take it, or by hand), until it is well mixed in.  Turn dough onto a lightly floured board and knead until it is smooth and satiny.  Gather dough into a ball.  Scrape bowl clean and grease it with shortening.  Return dough to bowl and grease surface lightly.  Let rise away from drafts in a warm (not hot) place until about triple in bulk.  (In a cool oven with a pan of hot water on a rack under it is a good place.)

Use last of the four as needed on the board for rolling and shaping the dough.  (Don’t use it all unless you need it.)  Let dough rest on board for 10 minutes so it will be easier to manage if you roll it.  Cut or mold into desired shapes.  Place on greased baking sheets.  Brush surface of rolls with melted butter.  Let rise in warm place until ready for oven (about 1-1/2 hours).  Bake at 400 F for 15-20 minutes or until browned to your satisfaction.  Make about 3 dozen rolls.
