5 lbs. flour, sifted
1 cup sugar
1 heaping tbsp. salt
1-1/2 cups melted shortening
About 4 cups warm water
Yeast mixture:
2 pkg. dry yeast
1-1/2 cups lukewarm water
1 tsp. sugar
Dissolve yeast and sugar in the lukewarm water and set aside to rise.
In a large pan, mix flour, sugar, salt, shortening, then
add the yeast mixture. Knead until spongy. Use more warm
water if necessary, until dough is spongy but not sticky. Pat
dough with flour, cover well and allow to rise until three times in

greased pans. Let rise again until doubled. (about 1 hour)
Bake at 350 degrees until done.
