List of Ingredients
1 package active dry yeast
1 Tablespoon sugar
3 eggs
1 cup warm water (110 degrees to 115 degrees)
½ cup sugar
½ cup shortening
¾ teaspoon salt
5-¼ to 5-¾ cups all purpose flour
1 egg white, optional
1 Tablespoon water, optional
sesame seed, optional
Recipe
In a large mixing bowl, combine the yeast and 1 Tablespoon sugar. Using a fork, beat in the eggs and warm eater. Let stand for 15 minutes.
Beat in the ½ cup sugar, shortening, and salt on LOW speed with an electric mixer. Add 2 cups of the flour, and beat till combined, then beat for 3 minutes on high speed.
Stir in as mush of the remaining flour as you can with a spoon. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead in enough of the remaining flour to make a moderately stiff dough that’s smooth and elastic (6 to 8 minutes).
Shape dough into a ball and place in a greased bowl; turn once. Cover and refrigerate overnight. (OR let the dough rise in a warm place till doubled, for 1 to 1-½ hours.
Punch dough down. Divide into 2 equal portions. Let stand at room temperature for 20 minutes. (OR let rest for 10 minutes for unchilled dough.)
On a floured surface, roll each portion of dough to form a 12-inch circle. Cut each circle like a pie into 12 wedges. Starting from the wide end, roll up each wedge to form a crescent. Place point side down on greased baking sheets. Cover; let rise in a warm place till nearly doubled (30 to 45 minutes).
If you like, lightly beat egg white with 1 Tablespoon water. Brush over each roll. Then sprinkle with sesame seed. Bake in a 375 degree oven 12 minutes OR till golden. Serve warm. Makes 12 rolls.
