Yeast Rolls - Paposecos

Paposecos, or yeast rolls, made with flour, butter, and yeast.

Cook Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

• 10 cups flour (more or less)
• 1 tablespoon salt
• 2 envelopes active dry yeast
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1/4 cup butter
• 3 1/2 - 4 cups warm water
• 1 1/2 teaspoons shortening

Preparation:

Dissolve yeast in 1/2 cup of the warm water with 1/2 teaspoon sugar; let stand for 5 minutes. Place yeast mixture in large bowl and add enough flour to make a batter, cover with a clean cloth and let stand until it forms bubbles and looks lumpy. Add remaining ingredients, blend well and knead for about 10 minutes or until smooth. Add more flour if dough is too soft. Cover with the cloth and let stand in warm place until doubled in size.

On floured board, using about 1/3 cup dough for each roll, shape into round balls. If you want rolls very even in size, use your kitchen scales to weigh the dough pieces. Let shaped rolls rest on a cloth. After all rolls are shaped, beginning with first shaped rolls, flatten each with palm of hand, making an indentation in the middle with the side of your hand; fold in half. Lay each on a cloth with open side down. Let rolls rest for 5 minutes.

Place rolls on baking sheet with open side up, and brush with milk. Bake in preheated 500° oven for 10 to 16 minutes.
Makes about 2 dozen rolls.
