Easy Dinner Rolls

Sure it's easy to just buy rolls, but I love fresh bread and I love making it. This recipe is sooooo simple. I know some people are afraid to work with yeast, but this recipe has never failed me!

Easy Dinner Rolls:
2 Pkg. active dry yeast
1 cup warm water (110-115 degrees)
1 cup boiling water
1 cup shortening
3/4 cup sugar
1 tsp. salt
2 eggs, beaten
7 1/2 - 8 cups all purpose flour

In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. In a large mixing bowl, combine boiling water, shortening, sugar and salt. Allow to stand 3-4 minutes or sugar is dissolved and shortening melted. Add the yeast mixture and eggs, mix well. Add flour a cup at a time to form a soft dough. Place dough in greased bowl, turning once to grease top.
Cover and let sit for 15 minutes. Pinch off a piece of dough and form a 2 1/2 inch ball. Place on a baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Serve with butter or jam. You can even keep some dough in fridge to make throughout the week!
