Measure your warm water, yeast, sugar, salt, and wheat flour into your stand mixer bowl. Beat well with the paddle attachment until no lumps are visible, apx. 3 minutes.
Swap the paddle for the dough hook attachment and add your eggs, the shortening, and allow to mix in.
2 large eggs, 1/3 cup shortening
Begin adding your flour one cup at a time while the dough hook is going. Once the dough clings to the hook and is no longer tacky, stop adding flour. Allow dough to knead for 5 minutes on medium-low speed. Let dough rest 20m.
4 1/2 cups AP flour
Dump dough onto a lightly floured and divide into 20 medium sized dough balls. Work each dough ball into a tight round, creating tension. Place dough seam side down in lightly greased baking sheet. Cover and allow to double in size, about an hour.
While dough rises, preheat oven to 375°. Once rolls have doubled, bake for 20-25 minutes, watching for tanned tops. Once rolls are baked, you can brush the tops with optional butter for a glossy finish. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
