Nikki's Famous Roll Recipe

Recipe from: Nikki Jones

2 1/4 tsp. yeast
1 1/4 lukewarm milk, divided
1/4 C. sugar, divided
1/4 C. shortening
1 tsp. salt
1 egg
3 C. bread flour

Spray bread maker pan.  Put in flour, egg, salt, shortening, and 1/8 C. of the sugar.

In a small bowl, put the other 1/8 C. of sugar with 1/4 C. of the milk.  Put in microwave for 15 seconds.  It should be lukewarm when out.  If not, let stand.  Add yeast and let sit until bubbly and frothy. 

Meanwhile, in another bowl, put in one cup milk in microwave for 30 seconds.  Stir a bit and put in bread maker.  Add yeast when ready to bread maker and put on dough cycle.

Usually around 1 hour and 30 min. when dough comes out, shape into balls and put on greased cookie sheet.  You should get about 12-13 balls of dough.  Any more than that and your rolls will be small.er.

Let rise about 45 minutes - 1 hour.

Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes. 

Enjoy!
