Cafeteria-Style Dinner Rolls (Yields 380 Rolls)
2 gallons warm water
5 gallons flour
1 1/2 quarts dry milk
1 1/2 quarts sugar
1 cup salt
6 2/3 cups shortening
2 cups dry yeast
Mix first 6 ingredients on low speed with dough hook. Slowly add dry yeast. Continue mixing for 1 to 2 mins. or until well blended. Mix on 2nd speed for mixer for 10 mins. Let dough rise. Pinch off pieces of dough and form into roll. (Rolls will form easier if your hands are greased.) Place rolls on greased baking pan and let dough rise a second time.
Note: If dough is heavy after mixing add warm water (a little at a time)
If dough is too sticky add a little flour (keep dough soft and as close to sticky as possible)
Continue mixing until dough is light and easy to handle.
Bake 340-350 F. for 10 - 12 min. Brush with melted butter.
Yield: 380 Rolls.
