   • In a large mixing bowl, combine shortening, sugar, salt, and boiling water. Allow it to cool until lukewarm.
   • Add warm water to the mixture and sprinkle in the dry yeast. Stir until the yeast is dissolved. Let it stand for 5 minutes.

   • Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured board and knead until smooth and elastic.

2. First Rise:

   • Cover the bowl and let the dough rise in a warm place until it doubles in size, approximately 1 to 1 1/2 hours.

3. Shaping the Rolls:

   • Divide the dough into 24 equal parts and shape each portion into ovals.

4. Second Rise:

   • Place the shaped rolls on a greased cookie sheet, ensuring they are spaced about 6 inches apart.
