Out Of This World Rolls

These "Out Of This World" rolls are a classic homemade bread that delivers incredible flakiness and flavor. By rolling out the dough and layering it with butter before coiling it up, you create distinct, tender layers similar to a croissant or Danish pastry. The overnight refrigeration step allows the gluten to relax and the flavors to meld, resulting in a superior texture. Perfect for holiday dinners, Sunday brunches, or simply elevating a weeknight meal, these rolls are golden brown on the outside and incredibly soft inside. They pair beautifully with soups, stews, or as a vehicle for extra gravy.

Ingredients

2 package Active dry yeast
1 1/4 cup Warm water
3 Eggs, well beaten
4 1/2 cup Unsifted flour
1/2 cup Shortening
1/2 cup Sugar
2 teaspoon Salt
1 cup Butter or margarine, softened

Directions

1
Dissolve yeast in 1/4 cup of the warm water and let stand for 10 minutes until foamy.
2
In a large mixer bowl, combine the dissolved yeast, beaten eggs, 2 1/2 cups flour, remaining 1 cup warm water, shortening, sugar, and salt.
3
Beat at medium speed for 2 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl occasionally, until the mixture is smooth.
4
Stir in the remaining 2 cups of flour using a wooden spoon until a soft dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add up to 1/2 cup more flour as needed.
5
Cover the bowl and let the dough rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk, approximately 1 hour.
6
Punch down the dough to release air bubbles, then cover tightly and refrigerate overnight.
7
About 3 hours before baking, remove the dough from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to soften slightly.
8
Divide the dough in half on a lightly floured surface. Roll each half into a rectangle approximately 1/2 inch thick.
9
Spread softened butter evenly over the surface of each dough rectangle.
10
Starting with the long side, tightly roll up each rectangle into a log (jelly-roll style).
11
Cut each log into 1-inch slices.
12
Place slices in greased muffin pan cups, with the spiral side facing down.
13
Cover the pans and let the rolls rise for 2 to 3 hours until doubled in size.
14
Bake in a preheated 400F (204C) oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown.
