List of Ingredients




2 tablespoons active dry yeast
1 tablespoon white sugar
2 1/2 cups warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
2 tablespoons shortening
2 teaspoons salt
7 cups bread flour
3 egg whites, stiffly beaten
1 tablespoon milk
1 egg white
1 cup ice cubes


Recipe



1 In a small bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in warm
water. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes.

2 In a large bowl, combine the yeast mixture with the
shortening, salt and 3 cups flour; beat well for 2 minutes. Fold
in egg whites. Stir in the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a
time, beating well after each addition. When the dough has
pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface
and knead until smooth and supple, about 8 minutes.
Lightly oil a large bowl, place the dough in the bowl and turn
to coat with oil. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in
a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
Punch down, cover and let rise again until doubled, about 45 minutes.

3 Deflate the dough and turn it out onto a lightly oiled
surface. Divide the dough into 16 equal pieces and form into
rounds. Use a rolling pin to flatten each piece into a 7 inch
circle. Fold left side to center to form a flap. Halfway down
flap fold again to center to form another flap. Repeat all
the way around to make overlapping flaps. Lift the first
flap to ease the last flap underneath. Press center to seal
the dough. Place rolls seam side down and 3 inches apart
onto a well greased baking sheets. This helps the rolls to
keep their shape. Let rise 30 minutes, turn right side up,
let rise 15 more minutes. Cover the rolls with a damp
cloth and let rise until doubled in volume, about 40
minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees
C) and place a shallow pan on the bottom shelf of the oven.


4 In a small bowl, beat together the milk with the
remaining egg white. Lightly brush the rolls with this egg wash.
Place 1 cup of ice cubes in the heated pan in oven.

5 Bake rolls immediately in preheated oven for 15 to 20
minutes, until golden brown. Move to wire racks to cool.
