Additional Time: 1 hr 45 mins

Total Time: 2 hrs 40 mins

Ingredients for Old-Fashioned buttery Yeast Rolls Recipe:

  • 2 ½ cups warm water
  • 1 ½ tablespoons active dry yeast
  • ½ cup white sugar
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • ¾ cup shortening
  • 7 cups all-purpose flour, divided, or more as needed
  • ½ cup butter, melted

Instructions for Old-Fashioned buttery Yeast Rolls

  1. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook, dissolve the yeast in warm water. Stir in the sugar and salt until froth forms.
  2. Mix in 3 cups flour and 3/4 cup shortening with the dough hook until the mixture resembles thick pancake batter.
  3. Fill a pot halfway with hot (but not boiling) water.
  4. Take out the mixer bowl and wrap it in plastic wrap and a cloth.
  5. Place the bowl over the pot of boiling water, being careful not to let the bottom touch the water.
  6. Allow to rise for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  7. Return the bowl to the stand mixer and gradually mix in the remaining 4 cups flour until the dough is smooth and elastic; you may need to do this in two batches.
  8. Shortening generously grease two 9×13-inch glass pans.
  9. Form the dough into 24 balls. Fill each prepared pan with 12 balls; cover with plastic wrap and a cloth.
  10. Allow to double in size in a warm place, about 1 hour; balls will start out about 1 1/2 inches in diameter but will rise and touch the sides of the pans.
  11. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).
  12. Bake the rolls in a preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
  13. Remove from the oven and brush the top with melted butter.
