- Begin by making a sponge. In a small bowl, dissolve 2 pkgs. of yeast in 1/2 c. of lukewarm water. Stir in 1/2 c. of flour and a tsp. of sugar. Allow to sit 10 min, and proceed to next step.
- Sift 7 c. flour and 2 tsp. salt into a large bowl.
- Add in 3/4 c. shortening to 1 c. of boiling water.
- In a separate bowl, beat 2 Large eggs with a rotary beater till light and add in 3/4 c. sugar gradually; stir in orange marmalade.
- Add in 1 c. cool water to shortening and add in this to beaten Large eggs, sugar, and marmalade. Mix well.
- Pour in sponge (the yeast, water, sugar, flour mix), and then slowly incorporate the 7 c. of flour; mixing all with wooden spoon till stiff, then turn out to a lightly floured board to knead 5-10 min, till smooth and elastic. Add in flour if required, but keep to a minimum.
- Put dough into a lightly greased bowl, cover with damp tea-cloth and let rise for 1 3/4 hrs, or possibly till nearly doubled in bulk.
- Punch down. Shape dough into rolls or possibly a tea ring and place in greased baking pan and let rise again till nearly doubled.
- Bake in 400 degree F. oven.
- This recipe makes about five dozen rolls. If smaller amount is desired, 1/2 of dough may be kept in freezer and baked at a future time.
