In a very large bowl, dissolve yeast in water, and proof. (Let set for 5 minutes)


Stir in sugar, salt, shortening, and eggs.

Now add rest of flour a little at a time and start using a wooden spoon, until your can't stir anymore.

Knead until smooth and elastic.

I would suggest baking them all. After cooling the rolls, put them into gallon size zipper bags for freezing. Or you can 1/2 the recipe.

Forgot to add because the dough gets to yeasty, if kept too long in the refrigerator.

How long do you think this dough would keep in the refrigerator? Could I keep it in the frig and just take some out to use each day?
