flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: all-purpose flour

Whole wheat flour adds fiber while all-purpose is more affordable.

Add 1 cup water to a bowl.

Add 2/3 cup sugar and 2/3 cup shortening to the water.

Stir the mixture and add yeast, then let it sit for 5 minutes until foamy.

Add 2 eggs, 1 1/2 teaspoon salt, and half of the flour (3 cups) to the mixture and beat with a mixer.

Switch to a dough hook and add the remaining 3 cups of flour, kneading for about 5 minutes until a ball forms.

Grease a glass bowl with olive oil and place the dough inside, turning to coat.

Cover the bowl and let the dough proof for 1.5 hours in a warm place.

After proofing, punch down the dough and cut it in half.

Shape the dough into golf-sized balls and place them on a parchment-lined tray, greasing with olive oil.

Let the shaped rolls rise for another 1.5 hours.

Preheat the oven to 400°F and bake the rolls for 20 minutes until golden brown.
