Ingredients:

Serving

1 package active dry yeast
1/4 cup warm water
1 cup milk, scalded
2 tbsp of sugar
2 tbsp of shortening
1 tbsp salt
3/4 cup cold water
6 cups (about) all- purpose flour

Directions:

1. Soften yeast in the warm water.
2. In a large bowl combine the scalded milk, sugar, shortening, and salt. Add the cold water and cool until luke-warm. Blend in the yeast.
3. Gradually beat in about 3 cups of flour until batter is smooth. Then stir in enough remaining flour to form a dough that is stiff enough to form into a ball. Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and let rest 5 to 10 minutes.
4. Knead until dough is smooth and satiny, about 5 to 10 minutes. Put into a greased dep bowl; turning dough once so that the greased side is to the top. Cover; let rise in a warm place until doubled, approximately 45 to 60 minutes.
5. Turn onto a lightly floured surface and divide dough into halves. Form each half into a smooth ball; cover and let rest for 5 to 10 minutes.
6. Shape into loaves and place in a 2 lightly greased loaf pans. Cover and Let rise again until doubled. Approximately 45 to 60 minutes.
7 Bake in a preheated oven set at 400 degrees for 45 to 60 minutes.
Note: my calculation on prep time are on how long it took me. It may take you longer it may not.
