Breads
White bread
_2 loaves, 18 slices each_
Flour, unsifted About 5½ cups
Sugar 3 tablespoons
Salt 2 teaspoons
Yeast, active dry 2 packages
Milk 2 cups
Shortening ¼ cup
Shortening, melted, or oil 1 tablespoon
Mix 2 cups of flour with sugar, salt, and yeast. Heat milk and ¼ cup
shortening together until very warm (120°F. to 130°F.). Shortening does
not need to melt.
Gradually stir milk mixture into flour mixture. Add 1 more cup flour.
Beat 2 minutes at high speed on electric mixer. Mix in enough of the
remaining flour to make a soft dough that leaves the side of the bowl.
Knead on a lightly floured surface until dough is smooth and elastic,
about 10 minutes.
Cover with plastic wrap, then a clean towel. Let rest 20 minutes.
_Grease two loaf pans, 9- by 5- by 3 inches._ Divide dough in half.
Shape into loaves. Place in loaf pans. Brush tops with 1 tablespoon fat.
Cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate 2 to 24 hours.
Remove from refrigerator. Puncture gently any air bubbles on surface
with toothpick or cake tester. Let rest 10 minutes before baking.
_Preheat oven to 375°F. (moderate)._ Bake 40 minutes or until done.
Remove bread from pans. Cool on racks.
