Time 3h30m

Yield 2 dozen, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons active dry yeast
1 tablespoon white sugar
2 1/2 cups warm water (110 degrees F)
2 tablespoons shortening
2 teaspoons salt
7 cups all-purpose flour
3 egg whites, stiffly beaten
1 egg white (for egg wash)
2 tablespoons milk

Steps:

  • In a large mixing bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water. Let sit until creamy; about 10 minutes.
  • Mix in shortening, salt and 3 cups of the flour. Beat with dough whisk or heavy spoon for 2 minutes. Fold in egg whites. Gradually add flour 1/4 cup at a time, until dough forms a mass and begins to pull away from bowl. Turn onto a floured surface. Knead, adding more flour as necessary, for 8 to 10 minutes, until smooth and elastic with bubbles.
  • Lightly oil a large mixing bowl, place the dough in the bowl and turn to coat with oil. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour. Deflate the dough, form into a round and let rise again until doubled, about 45 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Deflate the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide the dough into 24 equal pieces and form into oval rolls about 3 1/2 inches long. Place on lightly greased baking sheets, cover and let rise until doubled in volume, about 40 minutes.
  • Place an empty baking sheet on the bottom rack of the oven. In a small bowl, lightly beat the egg white with the 2 tablespoons of milk to make the egg wash. Lightly brush the risen rolls with the egg wash. Place 1 cup of ice cubes on the hot baking sheet in the oven and immediately place the rolls in the oven.
  • Bake at 425 degrees F (220 degrees C) for about 20 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.
  • Remove to a wire rack and cool.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
  • Follow the recipe instructions carefully, especially for the kneading and rising times.
  • Create a warm and draft-free environment for the dough to rise properly.
  • Be patient and allow the dough to rise fully before baking.
  • Bake the bread in a preheated oven to ensure an even bake.
  • Don't overbake the bread, or it will become dry.
  • Let the bread cool slightly before slicing and serving.
  • Store leftover bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
