One Hour Rolls

Ingredients:
1 C. warm water
2 TBSP yeast(SAF instant works or fast acting)
1 tsp salt
1/4 C. sugar
1 egg, well beaten
6 TBSP shortening, melted
3 1/2 C. flour, more as needed

Directions:
1. Preprep egg and shortening; grease cookie pan
2. Add salt and sugar to warm water. Let dissolve.
3. Add yeast, mix well.
4. Add melted shortening. Mix.
5. Add egg. Mix.
6. Add 2 C. flour. Mix well.
7. Add remaining flour and knead for 5 minutes on floured surface. I like to put wax paper or parchment paper down and then put the flour and knead on top of that.
8. Roll into balls(half as big as you want them to be when doubled:)); place on greased cookie sheet close together.
9. Let rise covered about one hour. Heat oven to 375 degrees. Bake 18-20 minutes.

If you're short on time. Let rise 15 minutes on counter and then warm your oven to 200 degrees. Turn off oven. Place rolls covered with plastic wrap in oven with a bowl of hot water on rack below. Let rise to desired size. Then removed water and rolls. Heat oven to 375 degrees.
Bake for 18-20 minutes.
Makes 12-15 rolls depending on how big you make the balls.
