Buttery Bubble Bread

In a large mixing bowl, dissolved eyast in warm water. Add the sugar, shortening, egg, salt and 1 cup of flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic about 6 - 8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled about 1 hour.

Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; shape into 1 1/2 inch balls. Dip the balls in butter and arrange them evenly in a greased 9 inch fluted pan. Drizzle with remaining butter. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled (about 45 minutes)

Bake at 350 for 30 - 35 minutes or until golden born. Cool for 5 minutes before inverting onto a serving platter.

Serve warm
