Duggar Homemade Yeast Rolls

These are the rolls the duggars always have at their family celebrations. I have made them a few times now and they are easy and melt in your mouth buttery good! They credit the recipe to gayla ellenbarger a good family friend. Prep time includes both resting times for the dough.

Steps

Combine the shortening , sugar , salt , yeast , and 2 cups of the flour in a large bowl and cut with a pastry cutter.

Beat 2 eggs in a 2-cup measuring cup , then fill cup to the 2-cup mark with hot water.

Pour over the dry mixture.

Slowly knead in the remaining 3 cups flour until dough is a smooth elastic consistency.

Cover bowl loosely with plastic wrap and let rise for 20 minutes in a warm oven.

Then pour the dough onto a floured surface.

Knead.

Flatten with hands into a large pizza shape.

Cut with pizza cutter into 16 triangle-shaped slices.

Roll up from the wide end to the point.

Place the rolls in two greased 9x13-inch pans , bending into crescent shapes and leaving space for the rolls to double in size.

Let rise in a warm oven at least 20 minutes or until doubled.

Remove from oven.

Preheat oven to 375f bake the rolls for 20 to 30 minutes , depending on how brown you prefer.

When done , immediately brush with the melted butter.
