Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix 1/2 cup warm water with yeast and let it activate.
- Combine eggs, salt, sugar, and melted shortening or oleo with 2 cups warm water.
- Add the yeast mixture to the wet ingredients.
- Gradually add sifted flour to the mixture and mix until a soft dough forms.
- Let the dough rise until it doubles in size in a large bowl.
- Work the dough down to remove air bubbles.
- Divide the dough into 3 equal balls about the size of a walnut or jack.
- Place the dough balls into a muffin pan and let them rise again.
- Bake at 375°F (190°C) until golden brown, about 15 minutes.
- Ensure the rolls brown on both sides by placing the pan on the bottom rack.
Tips & Substitutions
For best results, ensure your water is warm but not hot to avoid killing the yeast. If you don't have shortening, you can substitute with butter or margarine. If you prefer a sweeter roll, you can increase the sugar to 10 tablespoons. Remember to sift the flour for a lighter texture. Allow the rolls to cool slightly before serving to enhance their flavor.
Serving Suggestions
These Throwed Hot Rolls are perfect served warm with butter or alongside hearty soups and stews. They also pair beautifully with Chef Tell'S Bread Pudding(Makes 6 To 8 Servings) as a delightful finish to your meal. For a complete dinner, consider serving them with a fresh salad or roasted vegetables.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, freeze them in a zip-top bag for up to 3 months. To reheat, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and warm the rolls for about 10 minutes. This will refresh them and restore their soft texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use instant yeast instead of active dry yeast?
Yes, you can substitute instant yeast for active dry yeast. Use the same amount, but there's no need to activate it in water first. Just mix it directly into the flour along with the other dry ingredients.
What can I do if my dough doesn't rise?
If your dough isn't rising, ensure your yeast is fresh and the water used was warm, not hot. Try placing the dough in a warm, draft-free area covered with a damp cloth. If it's still not rising, it may need more time or a warmer environment.
Can I make the dough ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the dough ahead of time. After the first rise, punch it down and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours. When ready to bake, let it come to room temperature and rise again before shaping and baking.
