COOKIE'S BRAN ROLLS
1 cup shortening
3/4 cup sugar
1 T salt
1 cup all bran
Pour 1 cup boiling water over this and let cool.
When cool, add 2 eggs and 2 pkgs yeast which have been dissolved in 1 cup of warm water. Stir in 6 cups flour.
Let rise until double (about 2 hours).
Roll out and cut like biscuits. If you want to freeze them, do it at this point.*
Put in pan and let rise again.
Bake at 400 deg about 10 minutes.
Makes about 3 dozen.
* To defrost frozen rolls, place them on a tray dusted with flour and cover them with lightly greased plastic. The frozen rolls will take a day to thaw in the refrigerator, or several hours at room temperature. Put the rolls in a warm, draft-free place to let them fully rise before baking them. Bread dough will keep in the freezer for up to a month.
