Grandma's No-knead Yeast Rolls

Submitted by HappyMommy1422

"These are wonderful rolls, especially when you slather them with butter. Even I can make these and I don't consider making bread as one of my specialities. My aunt and I compete at Christmas dinner to see who can eat the most. I'm not revealing my record. :)"

 

• Ready In: 1hr 30mins
• Ingredients: 6
• Yields: 24 rolls

ingredients

• 5 cups flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄4 cup sugar
• 1⁄2 cup lard or 1/2 cup shortening (my grandma uses lard, I use shortening. I like hers better)
• 1 1⁄2 cups lukewarm water
• 1 (1/4 ounce) package yeast

directions

1. Dissolve yeast in the lukewarm water.
2. Sift together flour, salt and sugar.
3. Cut in lard.
4. Add yeast and water.
5. Mix until well blended and keep mixing until dough forms elastic strands.
6. Place dough in a greased bowl.
7. Cover and allow to rise 30 minutes.
8. Place dough on a floured board, smooth gently with your hands and roll out to desired thickness.
9. Cut out (and shape, if desired. I usually cut them out with a drinking glass then fold the dough in half.).
10. Place rolls in a greased pan.
11. Cover and allow to rise in a warm place for 45 minutes.
12. Brush with butter and bake at 450 degrees for 15 minutes.

Easy and delicious! I didn't roll these out; I wet my hands with water and formed them into balls by hand and put them in cake pans to bake. My family LOVED these. I will be making them again.

These were so easy to make. Didn't take as long as I thought it would. I know wished I would of made a double batch. I will be making these again. My family loved them. My husband is telling me I have to make more tomorrow. Thanks for the great recipe.

I never have been able to do the dough thing, but this one really worked. I did do a little mixing with the hands, but all in all, the rolls are wonderful. And I won't ask how many you eat at Christmas dinner. Thank you very much! Melody
