Out of this World Rolls

2 pkgs. dry yeast (fast-acting works also)
1/4 cup warm water
3 eggs, well beaten
4 1/2 cups flour
1 cup warm water
1/2 cup shortening
1/2 cup sugar
2 tsp. salt

1. Soften yeast in 1/4 cup warm water. Let stand 10 minutes.
2. Combine in a large bowl the following ingredients:
dissolved yeast
eggs
2 1/2 cups flour
1 cup warm water
shortening
sugar
salt
3. Beat until smooth
4. Add remaining flour to make a soft dough
5. Cover & let rise until double in bulk
6. Punch down dough & refrigerate overnight
7. 3 hours before baking, roll out as desired. (Take about 1/2 the dough and roll out into a circle. Cut like pizza and roll pieces up fat end to pointed end.)
8. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise for 3 hours (preferably in a warm place).
9. Brush with melted butter
10. Bake at 400 degrees for 12-15 minutes (My oven is very hot so it only took about 5 1/2 minutes to bake them. I would check around 5-6 minutes and see how they're doing.)
