Steps:
- Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 200 degrees. When oven reaches 200 degrees, shut oven off. Grease large bowl with 1 tablespoon butter. Line 13 by 9-inch baking dish with foil, leaving overhang on all sides. Grease foil with 1 tablespoon butter.
- Place milk, honey, shortening, and remaining 3 tablespoons butter in large measuring cup. Microwave on high power until milk is warm (110 degrees) and butter and shortening begin to melt, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir well.
- Mix 4 1/2 cups flour, yeast, and salt in bowl of standing mixer fitted with dough hook. Turn mixer to low and slowly add milk mixture. After dough comes together, increase speed to medium, add 1 egg, and mix until dough is smooth, about 2 minutes. Add another 1/2 cup flour and knead until dough is shiny and smooth and comes away from sides of mixing bowl, 6 to 7 minutes (add up to 1/2 cup more flour if dough is too sticky). Turn dough onto unfloured surface and knead briefly to form smooth, cohesive ball. Transfer dough to buttered bowl and turn to coat. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and place in turned-off oven until dough has doubled in size, 50 to 60 minutes.
- Punch down dough on floured surface and divide into 3 equal pieces. Roll each piece into thick cylinder and cut each cylinder into 5 equal pieces. Working one piece at a time (keep remaining pieces covered with plastic wrap) and following photos, form dough pieces into smooth, taut rounds and arrange in prepared baking dish. Lightly press on dough rounds so they just touch each other. Cover baking dish with plastic wrap and return to turned-off oven until dough rounds have doubled in size, 50 to 60 minutes.
- Remove dish from oven and heat oven to 375 degrees. Unwrap baking dish and brush rolls with egg-water mixture. Bake until rolls are deep golden brown, 25 to 27 minutes. Remove from oven and cool on wire rack for 5 minutes. Using handles of foil sling, remove rolls from baking dish and cool on wire rack for 1 hour. Remove foil from rolls, return to rack, and cool completely, about 2 hours longer. Keeping rolls together, wrap tightly in plastic wrap, then in foil; freeze for up to 1 month.
- To serve: Remove plastic wrap and foil (reserve foil) from rolls, wrap in reserved foil, and defrost at room temperature for 2 hours. Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 375 degrees. Bake foil-wrapped rolls on baking sheet until heated through, about 30 minutes. Serve.
- Rolls without a Mixer: In step 3, mix 4 1/2 cups flour, yeast, and salt in large bowl. Make well in flour, then add milk mixture and egg to well. Stir with wooden spoon until dough becomes shaggy and difficult to stir. Turn dough out onto floured work surface and knead, adding remaining 1/2 cup flour (or more as needed), until dough forms smooth, cohesive ball, about 10 minutes. Proceed as directed.
60 MINUTE DINNER ROLLS
These are some of the best dinner rolls I've made! The recipe came from a cookbook that my hometown puts out called High Altitude Country Kitched Vol.1 Oct.1995 thru July 1999. This recipe can give you homemade rolls in just 60 minutes!!! What could be better than freshly baked hot rolls to compliment a dinner?! These are wonderful hot right out of the oven or cold the next day for sandwiches! Hope you enjoy them as much as I do!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
- In a large bowl, thoroughly mix 1 1/2 cups flour, sugar, salt and undissolved dry yeast. Set aside.
- In a saucepan, combine milk, water and margarine or butter.
- Heat over low heat until liquids are very warm (120 to 130 degrees F). (Margarine does not need to melt).
- Gradually add warm milk mixture to the dry ingredients.
- Beat at medium speed for 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. (I use my KitchenAid Mixer).
- Add 1/2 cup flour and beat at high speed for 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally.
- Stir in enough additional flour to make a soft dough.
- Turn dough out onto lightly floured board; knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes.
- Place in a greased bowl, turning to grease the top.
- Cover and place the bowl over a pan of water that is about 98 degrees.
- Let rise for 15 minutes.
- Punch dough down and turn out on a lightly floured board.
- Shape into rolls and place them on a well grease pan.
- Cover and let rise in a warm, draft-free place for about 15 minutes or until almost doubled in bulk.
- Bake at 425 degrees F for about 12 minutes.
Tips:
- Activate the yeast properly: Proof the yeast in warm water with a little sugar to ensure it's active and ready to use. If the water is too hot, it will kill the yeast; if it's too cold, the yeast won't activate.
- Use high-quality butter: Good butter makes a big difference in the flavor and texture of the rolls. Use unsalted butter so you can control the amount of salt in the recipe.
- Knead the dough properly: Kneading the dough develops the gluten, which gives the rolls their structure and elasticity. Knead the dough for at least 5 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic.
- Let the dough rise in a warm place: The dough needs time to rise in order to double in size. Place the dough in a warm place, such as a turned-off oven with the light on, to help it rise quickly.
- Bake the rolls until they are golden brown: The rolls are done baking when they are golden brown on top and sound hollow when tapped.
