Tender Herb Dinner Rolls
Makes 24 servings
Prep: 15 min. + rising
Bake Time: 15 min.

Ingredients:

3-1/2 to 4 cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons sugar
1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
2 teaspoons dried basil
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon celery seed
1 teaspoon rubbed sage
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
1-1/4 cups milk
1/4 cup shortening
1 egg

Directions:

In a large bowl, combine 1-1/2 cups flour, sugar, yeast and seasonings. In a saucepan, heat milk and shortening to 120°-130°. Add to dry ingredients; beat until moistened. Beat in egg until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough. Do not knead. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours.

Punch dough down. Turn onto a floured surface; divide into 24 pieces. Shape each into a ball. Place 2 in. apart on greased baking sheets. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.

Bake at 400° for 12-14 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool. Yield: 2 dozen.
