5&3/4-6&1/4c. flour
2&1/4c. milk
2T. sugar
1T. shortening
2t. salt
In a large mixer bowl, combine yeast and 2&1/2c. of the flour. In a saucepan, heat milk, sugar, shortening, and salt just until warm, stirring occasionally to melt shortening. Add warm liquid mixture to dry mixture in mixing bowl. Gradually add and mix in the rest of the flour. Knead bread dough on a flat, lightly floured surface until dough blisters (8-10 min.). If dough is sticky, knead in more flour. Place in a greased bowl and let rise for 1&1/4 hrs. Punch down dough. Cut into 2 portions and shape into loaves. Place into 2 greased loaf pans. Cover and let rise in a warm place until dough has nearly doubled in size (about 30 min.). Bake at 400℉ for 10 min. then turn oven down to 375℉ and bake 20-30 more min. or until done.
