Country Dinner Rolls

A sunday dinner staple with this Allred couple. If i dont make these, Shauns eyes start to water, and the pouting begins. Just Kidding... kinda

So random fact, well two of them.
A) Its almost impossible to ruins these beautiful things! Last night we ran out of flour so we substituted what was missing with Wheat Germ. I was a bit skeptical but they turned out perfectly. Next time though, i'd add a bit of honey when we do that. Honey Wheat Roll... HECK YA!

B) DONT skimp the raising time! Bad Bad idea... tried it once. Also, dont let them raise all day while your at church either... thats not so much a good thing either. oops.

1 cup water
1 tablespoon HOT water (70-85 F)
1 Egg
4 1/2 teaspoons oil
3 1/4 cups of flour
1/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 teaspoons instant yeast
2 tablespoons shortening

Directions:
1- Place all ingredients in bread maker and set on "dough" setting. Let it run its course
++My bread maker takes 1 hr 40 mins and lets them rise during it. if yours doesn't let them rise till the       dough is 2-3 times its original size.
        ++Also check about 5 minutes in to see if you need to add a few more tablespoons of flour.
        ++It should be moist to the touch but not sticky to where it sticks to your finger.
2-  spray a casserole dish with cooking spay (I like glass, but it doesn't matter)
3- pull dough out and make uniform balls
4 Cover with plastic wrap and let sit  till they have raised to be double in size... or a bit bigger.
5- Cook at 350 for about 12-15 minutes.
6- I like to baste them with  salted butter ever 5 minutes  it adds a great salty, buttery, flavor and they brown perfectly!

YUMMMYYYYY
