Ingredients:
- 2 (¼ ounce) packets yeast
- 1 cup warm water
- 2 tablespoons salt
- ¼ cup sugar
- 6 tablespoons shortening
- 3⅓ cups warm water
- 10 -12 cups flour
Directions:
- Dissolve yeast and 1 cup warm water in a large mixing bowl. Let rest 10-15 minutes.
- Add salt, sugar, shortening and 3⅓ cups warm water.
- Gradually mix in 10 cups of flour. Add up to 2 more cups until dough is no longer sticky.
- Knead for 10 minutes. Cover the bowl and let rise for 1 hour until dough doubles in size.
- Punch down dough, form into 4 loaves, place into loaf pans and let rise again until double in size (about an hour).
- Place in preheated oven at 375 degrees and bake until golden brown (about 35 Minutes).
- This recipe also works well halved.
- For whole wheat bread, substitute 4 cups of whole wheat flour mixed with 6 to 8 cups of white flour.
- I cool slice and freeze the extra laoves for later.
Note: Serves 4
