CloneBoss Ingredients 1 (¼ ounce) package active dry yeast 1 ½ cups warm water 5 cups sifted all-purpose flour, divided ½ cup sugar 1 ½ teaspoons salt ½ cup shortening, melted 2 large eggs, lightly beaten ½ cup melted butter 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour — Directions Activate Yeast: Combine yeast and warm water in a 2-cup liquid measuring cup. Let stand for 5 minutes until bubbly. Mix the Dough: In a large bowl, combine 4 cups sifted flour, sugar, and salt. Stir in the yeast mixture and melted shortening. Add eggs and the remaining 1 cup of flour. Mix vigorously until the dough is soft and sticky. First Rise: Brush the dough with some melted butter and cover loosely. Let rise in a warm place for 1 ½ hours or until doubled in bulk. Prepare Pans: Grease four 8-inch round cake pans and set aside. Roll and Shape: Sift ¾ cup of flour over a work surface. Turn the soft dough out onto the surface and sift ½ cup of flour over the dough. Roll the dough to ½-inch thickness and brush off any excess flour. Using a floured 2-inch biscuit cutter, cut out dough rounds. Form the Rolls: Pull each round into an oval shape, approximately 2 ½ inches long. Dip one side of the oval into melted butter and fold it in half, with the buttered side facing out. For each pan, arrange 16 rolls: Place 10 rolls around the edge, fold side against the pan. Add 5 rolls in an inner circle and 1 roll in the center. Second Rise: Cover pans loosely and let the rolls rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size. Bake the Rolls: Preheat oven to 400°F. Bake rolls uncovered for 12-15 minutes or until lightly browned. — Pro Tip: Brush the warm rolls with a honey butter mixture to clone chicken minis.
