Honey Stevenson'S Cinnamon Buns

1. 1

   Dissolve the yeast in the 1/4 cup water.

2. 2

   combine the water, sugar, and salt, stirring to dissolve.

3. 3

   combine the water mixture with the yeast mixture. Add the egg and combine well. Add the shortening and the flour and mix until the dough comes together and is tacky, but not sticky. Knead the dough for about 10 minutes (less if using a kitchenaid) until the dough can pass the window pane test (flatten a small piece of dough and gently thin the dough. As you hold it to the light, it will look as if you are looking through an old window).

4. 4

   Grease a large zip lock bag and place the dough in the bag and then into the refrigerator. Let the dough set overnight and up to 5 days, checking the dough daily and de-gassing as needed.

5. 5

   Preheat your over to 350 degrees. Roll out 1/2 of the dough into a rectangle about 18 x 12 inches. Slather the dough with butter, sprinkle brown sugar and cinnamon over the butter. Roll up the dough so you have an 18 inch log. Cut the dough into 3/4 inch slices and place in a greased Pyrex baking dish. Don't squish the rolls to much. They will spread as they rise. Bake in the oven for 9 to 12 minutes, until the tops are just browned. Remove from pan while buns are still warm.
