Aug. 19, 2008 - Betty Crocker Refrigerator Dough
This is a very good dough. I used it to make cinnamon rolls, garlic rolls, regular rolls. I think it would work for lots of things and it was great to have it already made and in the fridge. It took about five minutes to make the garlic rolls and put them in the oven.
1 pk yeast
1 1/2 cups warm water
2/3 cup of sugar
1 1/2 tsp salt
2/3 cup shortening
2 eggs
1 cup mashed potatos (you can also use the instant potato flakes)
7 cups of flour
Dissolve yeast in warm water. Stir in shortening, eggs, potato. Add 4 cups of flour. Beat until smooth. Mix in enough flour to make dough easy to handle. Knead 5 minutes.
Place in greased bowl greased side of dough up. (I sprayed a little Pam on it) and cover. Refrigerate for at least 8 hours. Keeps up to 5 days. Bake at 400 for 20 minutes.
The dough will rise in the fridge so make sure you have a big enough bowl. Mine kind of grew over the edges.
