Best home made bread ever

I found this recipe on Pinterest (link to original website at the bottom) and I have to say that it is my new favorite recipe for rolls and bread. They are soft and flaky, melt in your mouth delicious and the recipe makes enough for 12 giant rolls and a big loaf of bread.

Here is the recipe
Ingredients

1 pkg dry yeast
1 tsp sugar
1/2 cup warm water
2/3 cup sugar
3 tbsp shortening
3 eggs
5 to 6 cups flour
3 pinches of salt
Instructions

Mix yeast, sugar, and warm water. Set aside in warm place to rise. It will bubble and rise up. While waiting for yeast mixture, cream 2/3 cup sugar with 3 heaping tablespoons shortening. Beat in eggs, one at a time.

Sift 5 to 6 cups flour and 3 large pinches of salt. Add yeast mixture to creamed mixture, plus 1-1/2 cups warm water. Add flour until dough is right texture for bread. Turn into large greased bowl or pan, and let rise to top (will probably take about 2-4 hours or longer). Keep covered.

Once dough has risen, turn out onto floured surface. Coat generously with flour by turning and shaping. No kneading is necessary. To make loaves, just divide and shape into loaves. To make rolls, roll out to desired thickness. Then cut with a cup or glass. Place in greased pans, and let rise (will probably take about 2-3 hours).

Once rolls have risen well, bake for approximately 15 to 20 minutes at 425° or 450°. It might not take quite that long, so be watchful that they don't brown too quickly; may need to cover with foil, so rolls can bake through.
