====Ingredients====
  *Envelope active dry yeast: 1

  *Whole milk: 1 cup

  *Vegetable shortening: 1/4 cup
  *Sugar: 3 tbsp
  *Kosher salt: 1/2 tbsp

  *Eggs: 1 large, room temperature

  *All-purpose flour: 3.5 cups plus more for surface

  *Canola oil: to coat bowl

  *Butter: 1/4 cup unsalted

  *Flaky sea salt: for topping


====Instructions====
  -Whisk yeast and ¼ cup warm water (110°-115°) in a small bowl; let stand 5 minutes until foamy
  -Heat milk in a small saucepan over medium until just warm. Combine shortening, sugar, and kosher salt in a large bowl
  -Add warm milk to bowl; whisk to blend, breaking up shortening into small clumps (it may not melt completely). Whisk in yeast mixture and egg
  -Add 3.5 cups flour; stir vigorously with a wooden spoon until dough forms. Knead dough with lightly floured hands on a lightly floured work surface until smooth, 4–5 minutes. Transfer to a lightly oiled bowl; turn to coat. Cover loosely with plastic wrap. Let stand at room temperature until doubled, about 1.5 hours
  -Preheat oven to 350F. Melt butter in a small saucepan. Lightly brush 13x9" baking dish with some melted butter. Punch down dough; divide into 4 equal pieces. Working with 1 piece at a time, roll out on a lightly floured surface into a 12x6" rectangle
  -Cut lengthwise into three 2"-wide strips; cut each crosswise into three 4x2" rectangles. Brush half of each (about 2x2") with melted butter; fold unbuttered side over, allowing a ¼-inch overhang. Place flat in 1 corner of dish, folded edge against short side of dish. Add remaining rolls, shingling to form 1 long row. Repeat with remaining dough for 4 rows. Brush with melted butter, loosely cover with plastic, and chill at least 30 minutes or up to 6 hours
  -Bake rolls until golden and puffed, 25–35 minutes. Brush with butter; sprinkle sea salt over. Serve warm
