Ingredients:
|
3 1/2 cups Flour
1 package Instant Dry Yeast 2 tsp Salt 2 tbsp Sugar 1 tsp Onion Powder 3 - 5 Cloves of Garlic (depending on size) 2 Scallions 4 tbsp Vegetable Shortening 1 1/4 cup Very Warm Water 1-2 tbsp Olive Oil |
|
Directions:
1. Very finely dice and mince the garlic and scallions. You also have the option of using a "pilon" (pestle and mortar) to smash the garlic and scallions into a paste.
|
|
2. In a mixing bowl, add the flour and shortening (cut up into smaller pieces). Mix it by hand to crumble the shortening into the flour until well combined.
|
|
3. To the flour/shortening mixture, add in the salt, sugar, onion powder, minced garlic/scallions, and the 1 packet of instant yeast. Mix well by hand to combine.
|
|
|
4. Using a stand mixer, or by hand, mix the flour with 1 1/4 cup of very warm water. Mix until well incorporated. Once combined, knead the dough for approximately 6 - 8 minutes.

|
|
5. Add the dough to a bowl greased with olive oil. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel and let it rest in a warm, dark place for 45 minutes to rise.
|
|
|
6. Place the dough on a clean, floured surface and cut into 8 equal parts. Roll each dough into a ball and set on a baking sheet. Lightly spray each ball with cooking spray and cover with plastic wrap. Replace in a warm, dark place for 10 minutes (no more than 15).
|
|
7. Place the baking sheet with the rolls (plastic wrap removed) in a preheated oven of 350 degrees and bake for 25 minutes. Remove rolls from oven and transfer them to a wire rack to cool.
|
|
8. Then you can finally enjoy!
