This is a yummy roll recipe to go with any meal. We shaped ours in the shape of Shamrocks for St. Patrick’s Day Dinner but use them for a anytime roll.

Soft Rolls

*12 1/2 ounces (1 1/2 cups) warm Water
*2 1/2 teaspoons Dry Yeast
*1 pound 5 ounces (around 2 2/3 cups) Bread Flour, more if needed
*2 teaspoons Salt
*2 ounces (1/4 cup) Sugar
*1 ounce (1/8 cup) Milk
*1 ounce (1/8 cup) Shortening
*1 ounce (2 tablespoons) Butter

Mix together in mixer until slightly soft sticky texture or knead by hand.

Cover with moist cloth and let rise 1 1/2 hours or until double in bulk/size.

Cut dough into desired size pieces for rolls, shape and let rise on greased baking sheet for another 30 minutes (covered). (Weigh each piece of roll dough if you want them to be exact same size rolls.)

Pre-heat the oven at 400*F. and bake for 20 minutes.

Recipe makes about 15 rolls depending on the size of rolls.

Enjoy!
