Ingredients
3 cups warm water
1 tablespoon white sugar

3 (.25 ounce) envelopes active dry yeast
¼ cup milk
2 large eggs eggs

10 cups all-purpose flour

HOW TO MAKE SCHOOL LUNCHROOM CAFETERIA ROLLS
Step 1: Pour warm water and add in a tbsp sugar in a large mixing bowl. Stir until the sugar has dissolved. Then, sprinkle over the yeast, allowing the mixture to sit for about 10 minutes or until foamy.
Step 2: Add the eggs into the yeast, pour in the milk and add in the salt. Stir until incorporated.
Step 3: Add the flour with 2/3 cup of sugar in a different bowl and mix in the shortening with your fingers.
Step 4: Gradually add in the flour into the wet ingredients. Use a wooden spoon to mix the ingredients until a ball begins to form throughout the spoon.
Step 5: Use a hot towel to cover the bowl and allow it to rise for about 45 minutes in a warm area.
Step 6: Over the risen dough, pour in the melted butter and knead for about 2 minutes. Before rolling the dough, allow it to sit for another 2 to 3 minutes.
Step 7: Roll the dough on a flat surface with a little flour to about an inch thick.
Step 8: Use a knife or any sharp blade to cut the dough into 2-inch squares.
Step 9: Roll and make the squares into small balls. Put them on a greased pan and leave an inch space between the balls.
Step 10: Allow them to rise or place in the fridge to set overnight.
Step 11: When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Step 12: Bake the dough balls in the preheated oven for about 12 minutes or until golden brown.
Step 13: Once done, remove from the oven and allow to cool on a wire rack.
