Ingredients

3/4 cup shortening
3/4 cup sugar
1 cup boiling water
2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast
1 cup warm water (110° to 115°)
2 eggs
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
6 to 7 cups all-purpose flour

Directions

1

In a bowl, cream shortening and sugar. Add boiling water; mix well. Cool to 110° to 115°. Dissolve yeast in warm water. Add yeast mixture and eggs to creamed mixture; mix well. Add salt, baking powder, baking soda and 5 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. Do not let rise. Divide into 32 pieces; shape each into a ball. Place in two greased 9-in. round baking pans. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1-1/2 hours.

Bake at 400° for 18-22 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to wire racks.
