Instructions: Dissolve yeast in water. Stir in milk, sugar, salt, eggs, shortening and flour. Add enough remaining flour to handle easily; mix with hand. Turn onto lightly floured board; knead until smooth and elastic (about 5 min.). Round up in greased bowl, greased side up. Cover with damp cloth. Let rise in warm place (85F) until double (about 1 1/2 hour). Punch down; let rise again until almost double (about 30 min). Divide dough for desired rolls. (The recipe says this dough will make 1 large coffee cake and 1 1/2 to 2 dozen rolls.) Shape, let rolls rise 15-20 minutes, and bake 12-15 minutes at 400F.

If youd like coffee cake directions, let me know. The recipe also says that you can vary the dough recipe by using only 1/2 cup milk, 1 tsp. salt and 4 1/2 to 5 cups of flour to make a richer dough.
