Augusta County Schools Dinner Rolls


2 gallons water, warm
5 gallons flour
1 1/2 quarts dry milk
1 1/2 quarts sugar
1 cup salt
6 2/3 cups shortening
2 cups dry yeast

Mix first 6 ingredients on low speed with dough hook.
Slowly add dry yeast.
Continue mixing for 1 to 2 minutes or until well blended.
Mix on 2nd speed for mixer for 10 mins.
Let dough rise. Pinch off pieces of dough and form into roll.
(Rolls will form easier if your hands are greased.)
Place rolls on greased baking pan and
let dough rise a second time.

Note: If dough is heavy after mixing add warm water
(a little at a time). If dough is too sticky,
add a little flour (keep dough soft and
as close to sticky as possible). Continue mixing
until dough is light and easy to handle.
Bake 334-350 F. for 10 - 12 min.
Brush with melted butter.
