Pigs In a Blanket

Another great freezer meal idea. This was great. My kids ate these up. I really need to make these again!! It makes a lot because you cut the hot dogs in half.

2 packages dry yeast(2 ¼ t. per pack)
2 c very warm water
2 t salt
½ c sugar
1/4 cup melted shortening
1 beaten egg
6 ½ - 7 c flour

Combine first two items. Add sugar, salt, and ½ cup flour; beat 2 minutes. Add egg and melted shortening; beat until smooth. Add flour 1 cup at a time… usually 5-6 c.; knead until smooth. Set aside in greased bowl, cover with towel, let rise until double. Punch dough; divide in half. Roll out ½ dough into large circle; spread with softened butter. Cut with pizza cutter into 16 pieces. Sprinkle outside edge of circle with cheddar cheese. Place ½ hot dog on edge of each triangle; roll. Place on greased cookie sheet. Let rise. Bake at 400 for about 12 minutes. Remove to wire rack to cool, then bag and freeze!
