Steps:
- Combine water, yeast, and 1 teaspoon of sugar in a small bowl; stir to combine. Let stand in a warm place until small bubbles form on the surface, about 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat milk, 8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter, salt, and remaining 2 teaspoons of sugar in a small saucepan over very low heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until sugar has dissolved and butter has melted. Be sure not to let the mixture become hotter than 115 degrees. or it will kill the yeast. Remove from heat, and pour into a large bowl; add the yeast mixture. Stir until combined. Add 6 cups flour, and stir until mixture forms a soft dough. It may be necessary to add the remaining 1/2 cup flour.
- Transfer mixture to a lightly floured work surface, and knead until the dough is smooth, 5 to 8 minutes.
- Lightly oil a large bowl, and place dough in bowl. Cover, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, 30 to 45 minutes. At this point, dough may be stored, tightly covered, in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Allow dough to reach room temperature before proceeding with the recipe.
- Punch dough down, and divide equally in half. Place on a clean work surface, and cover loosely with a kitchen towel or inverted bowl. Let rest for 5 to 10 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly butter a baking sheet; set aside. Melt remaining 3 tablespoons butter; set aside.
- Working with one piece of dough at a time, roll out on a lightly floured work surface until 3/4 inch thick. Using a 2 1/2-inch biscuit cutter, cut out about 2 dozen rolls. Place rolls on prepared baking sheet, and let rise until rolls have doubled in size, 15 to 20 minutes. Brush tops lightly with melted butter. Repeat with remaining dough.
- Bake until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Cream the shortening and sugar until it is light and fluffy.
- Add mashed potatoes and cream some more.
- Heat the milk to lukewarm, dissolve one .25 ounce packet cake yeast in it.
- Pour warmed milk/yeast mixture into the shortening, sugar and potatoes.
- Add enough flour (approximately 1 cup) to make like cake dough.
- Stir in the salt.
- Let rise 2 hours.
- Stir in remaining flour, baking soda and baking powder to make a biscuit dough.
- Knead dough some.
- Refrigerate dough for 1/2 hour, then shape into rolls.
- Let rolls rise double their size.
- Bake at 450 F degrees for 12-14 minutes.
- Serve hot with my "Kentucky Whipped Butter".
Tips:
- Use warm milk to activate the yeast. This will help the dough to rise properly.
- Add the sugar and salt to the warm milk and stir until dissolved. This will help to proof the yeast.
- Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic. This will help to develop the gluten in the dough, which will make the rolls chewy.
- Let the dough rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size. This will give the yeast time to work and produce carbon dioxide, which will make the rolls light and fluffy.
- Shape the dough into rolls and place them in a greased baking dish. Cover the rolls with plastic wrap and let them rise again until they have doubled in size.
- Bake the rolls in a preheated oven until they are golden brown.
- Serve the rolls warm with butter or your favorite spread.
Conclusion:
These refrigerator rolls are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are also a great way to use up leftover dough. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a batch of warm, fluffy rolls that the whole family will love.
