I made one batch of these following the original recipe and then I ran out of white flour so I made another batch with half whole wheat flour and half bread flour. The dough rose very quickly and had a really nice soft and velvety texture when shaping. Both batches turned out great. The rolls rose high and tasted delicious. I think that next time I make these I will try to sub butter for the shortening and see if they come out the same.

~makes 24 rolls~
Ingredients
4-1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
1/2 cup warm water (110° to 115°)
2 cups warm milk (110° to 115°)
6 tablespoons shortening
2 eggs
1/4 cup sugar
1-1/2 teaspoons salt
7 to 7-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
Directions
In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the milk, shortening, eggs, sugar, salt and 3 cups flour; beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes (dough will be sticky). Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide into 24 pieces. Shape each into a roll. Place 2 in. apart on greased baking sheets. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes.
Bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to wire racks.

I really love rolls/bread. I think you can officially be labeled the bread queen!
These look so good! I have never made rolls before. I wonder if it would be too bold to start with this recipe? I have watched my mom make them for years. I just might try it.
I love Taste of Home recipes- They are always delicious. I'll try these- yours look perfect!
I still haven't made the first bread I posted about from your blog. I can't keep up..each time I think I am about to make the honey rolls you come out with another delicious recipe that makes my mouth water! I promised my oldest we would make bread from scratch...it's going to happen! Thanks for sharing all your yummy recipes! I can't wait to try them all..........
These do look so soft!
Very little is as good as a fresh baked roll. Those look wicked good!
YUM! They turned out beautifully. You're pretty slick with breads... I'm jealous!
These are beautiful! I have never made bread but have bookmarked a few of your recipes and need to go make use of my dad's KA mixer!
These remind me of the rolls they used to bake in the school cafeteria (yeah - they had a great cafeteria here. REAL homemade food. When the entire high school population is only 200 people - they can do that!)
They were delicious - melt in your mouth. I've been looking for something similar for a long time. Will definitely have to try these out!
These look so good!! I have never made rolls before, but will give these a try
Amber, these rolls do look pillow soft! Well done!
Mmmm! These look so good! I love making (and eating) homemade rolls - I could NEVER go on a low carb diet! :-)
Found you while food blog searching! Added you to my blog's blogroll :-)
I started salivating immediately when I looked at that pic. Wonderful!
They look great! You did a wonderful job!
Hi Amber! This is an amazing recipe! It was so easy! I tried substituting the shortening with butter and the results were fantastic! It was a huge hit with my family and will definitely be on the table this Christmas! Thank you so much!
