Speedy Rolls

2 cups lukewarm water

1/2 cup sugar

1 Tbsp salt

2 pkg yeast

6 1/2 cups flour, divided

2 eggs

1/3 cup shortening or butter

*Place water, sugar, salt, yeast, and 2 cups flour in a bowl.  Beat 2 minutes.  Add eggs and butter, beat 1 minute.  Gradually add 4 1/2 cups flour, stir until firm.  Allow dough to sit at least 20 minutes for easy handling.

*Roll out dough and spread with melted butter.  Sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon.  Roll-up and slice vertically.  Place on greased pan and let rise until almost double in size.  (Or you can just put in a turned-off oven, covered, overnight)

*Bake at 375 for 25-30 minutes.
