Ingredients
Instructions
- Sprinkle yeast over lukewarm water and set aside to activate.
- Put Crisco, sugar, and salt in a large bowl.
- Stir the mixture until combined. Add 1 cup boiling water and blend until Crisco is melted.
- Add eggs, the yeast mixture, and flour to the bowl.
- Cover and store in refrigerator for up to 1 week.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter texture, make sure your yeast is fresh and active before mixing. If you prefer a healthier fat option, you can substitute Crisco with unsalted butter or olive oil. For added flavor, consider incorporating herbs or garlic powder into the dough. Allow the dough to rest longer for a more developed flavor, especially if you're making it ahead of time.

These bread rolls are perfect served warm with butter or alongside a hearty soup or stew. They pair beautifully with Cochise Casserole for a comforting meal. You can also use them as a base for sliders or sandwiches. For a sweet touch, enjoy them with honey or jam for breakfast or brunch.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use active dry yeast instead of packaged yeast?
Yes, you can use active dry yeast in this recipe. Just dissolve it in the lukewarm water and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy before proceeding with the recipe. This ensures that the yeast is activated properly, which is essential for the rolls to rise.
What can I do if my dough isn’t rising?
If your dough isn't rising, it could be due to inactive yeast or a temperature issue. Make sure your water is lukewarm, not hot, as high temperatures can kill the yeast. If the dough still doesn't rise, try moving it to a warmer spot in your kitchen or letting it rest longer to encourage fermentation.
Can I make these rolls ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the dough and store it in the refrigerator for up to a week, allowing for convenience. When you're ready to bake, simply shape the rolls and let them rise before baking. This allows for a fresh-baked taste without the last-minute rush.
