Ingredients

  • 1 pkg. active dry yeast
  • 1 c. water
  • 2 Tbsp. sugar
  • 1 1/4 c. flour
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 2 Tbsp. soft shortening
  • 1 egg

Instructions

  1. Dissolve yeast in water.
  2. Stir in the sugar, flour, and salt; beat until smooth.
  3. Add the soft shortening, egg, and 1 1/4 cups more flour; beat until smooth.
  4. Scrape down sides of bowl and seal.
  5. Let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 45 minutes.

Tips & Substitutions

For best results, ensure your water is warm but not hot, around 110°F, to activate the yeast effectively. If you don’t have soft shortening, you can substitute with softened butter or margarine. If you want a richer flavor, try adding a tablespoon of honey or using whole wheat flour in place of some of the all-purpose flour. These rolls can be enjoyed fresh or toasted.

Serving Suggestions

These Tupperware Bread Rolls are perfect served warm alongside soups, salads, or your favorite main dishes. They also make a fantastic base for sliders or sandwiches. For a delightful twist, pair them with a sweet spread like honey or serve alongside a fruit dessert such as Strawberry Chantilly Torte Cake to balance the meal.

Storage & Reheating

Store leftover bread rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, freeze them in a resealable freezer bag for up to 3 months. To reheat, thaw at room temperature and warm in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes, or microwave for 15-20 seconds until warmed through.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make the dough ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the dough in advance. After step 4, cover the bowl and refrigerate the dough for up to 24 hours. When ready to bake, let it come to room temperature and rise before proceeding with the baking process.

Can I add herbs or cheese to the rolls?

Absolutely! You can mix in dried herbs like rosemary or thyme for added flavor, or incorporate shredded cheese such as cheddar before the final rise. This will create a delicious savory roll that pairs well with many dishes.
