Categories: Breads
  Servings: 2

 5 3/4      to 6 1/4 cups all purpose
            -flour
 1      pk  active dry yeast
 2 1/4  c   milk
 2      T   sugar
 1      T   shortening
 2      t   salt

In a large mixer bowl, combine 2 1/2 cups of the flour and the yeast.
In a saucepan heat milk, sugar, shortening and salt just till warm (115
degrees to 120 degrees) and shortening is almost melted; stir constantly.
Add to flour mixture.  Beat at low speed of electric mixer 1/2 minute,
scraping sides of bowl.  Beat 3 minutes at high speed.  Stir in as much
remaining flour as you can mix in with a spoon.  Turn out onto a lightly
floured surface.  Knead in enough remaining flour to make a moderately
stiff dough that is smooth and elastic (6 to 8 minutes total).  Shape
into a ball.  Place in a greased bowl; turn once.  Cover; let rise
in a warm place till double (about 1 1/4 hours).
Punch down.  Turn out onto a lightly floured surface.  Divide dough in
half.  cover; let rise 10 minutes.  Lightly grease two 8x4x2 inch loaf
pans. Shape each half of dough into a loaf by patting or rolling.  To
pat dough, gently pull the dough into a loaf shape, tucking the edges
beneath.  Brush loaves with melted butter.  Cover; let rise in a warm
place till nearly double (45 to 60 minutes).  Bake in a 375 degree oven
about 45 minutes or till done.  Remove from pans.  Cool.  Makes 2 loaves.
