Whole Wheat Refrigerator Rolls

1. 1

   Combine 3/4 cup hot water, 1/2 cup sugar, salt and shortening; cool to lukewarm. Add 3/4 cup whole wheat flour.

2. 2

   Measure 1 cup of warm water into a large warm bowl and sprinkle yeast over the water; stir until dissolved. Add the remaining 1 teaspoon sugar. Let this stand 5 minutes until it rises and bubbles. Stir into the lukewarm mixture with the beaten egg and 2 1/2 cups white whole wheat flour. Beat until smooth, stir in remaining flour and beat 1 minute. Dough will be soft.

3. 3

   Place into a greased bowl, cover tightly with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator, best overnight.

   Divide the mixture in half and roll out as you would for pie crust. Cut in 12 wedges, roll from the wide side up. Place on a greased cookie sheet until doubled in size. Bake at 375 degrees for 10-15 minutes.
