How to Make 55 Minute Dinner Rolls
Dissolve 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast in 1/2 cup warm water (105-115°F).
Add 1/2 cup warm milk (105-115°F), 1/4 cup melted shortening, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, and 1 large egg. Beat vigorously with a mixer for 2 minutes.
Gradually add the remaining 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, mixing until a soft dough forms.
Let the dough rise in a greased bowl for 15 minutes.
Gently knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 2-3 minutes. Shape into 12-15 rolls.
Place rolls on a greased baking sheet and let rise for another 15-20 minutes.
Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown.
