Denise’s Basic Roll Dough/Cal-zone Bread

Ingredients
1 TBSP yeast
¼ C warm water
1 C milk, scalded (1 ½ min in microwave)
¼ C sugar
¼ C shortening
1 tsp salt
3 ½ C flour
1 egg
Directions:
  Soften yeast in warm water. Combine milk, sugar, shortening, and salt, cool to luke warm. Add 1 ½ cups flour, beat well. Beat in yeast and egg. Gradually add remaining flour to form soft dough, beating well.
   Place in bowl, cover and let rise until doubles. Turn out on lightly floured surface and shape as desired. (At this point you can stop and separate the dough into halves and freeze one or both to use at a later time. Or...) Cover and let shaped rolls rise until double in size.
  Bake on greased baking sheet in 375 degree oven for 12-15 minutes. If Making the Cal-Zones make sure to lightly dust with corn meal and it won't stick to the pizza stone.
