Recipe Summary Alice's Turkey Day Light Rolls

I'm sure these rolls were the reason for the original Thanksgiving! Mom stopped making them years ago and I wondered why until I got the recipe. Plan ahead, they're worth the effort. Enjoy.

Ingredients | Go Wings Go Alice Cooper

¾ cup scalded milk

4 ½ tablespoons shortening

¼ cup sugar

2 ¼ teaspoons salt

¾ cup warm water

1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast

4 ½ cups all-purpose flour, divided

1 teaspoon melted shortening, or as needed

Directions

Stir milk, 4 1/2 tablespoons shortening, sugar, and salt together in a bowl. Cool until mixture is lukewarm.

Pour water into a bowl and sprinkle yeast over the top. Let stand until yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam, about 5 minutes; stir. Stir milk mixture into yeast mixture until smooth.

Beat 2 1/4 cups flour into yeast mixture until smooth. Gradually stir in remaining flour until dough comes together.

Turn dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and knead until dough is smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes. Place dough in an oiled bowl, brush with melted shortening, cover the bowl with a clean towel, and set in a warm place to rise until doubled in volume, about 2 hours.

Punch dough down and form into 24 rolls. Place rolls on a lightly greased baking dish, cover with a towel, and let rise until doubled in volume, about 40 minutes.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes.
