2 C. Water
1 T. shortening
1 T. sugar
2 t. salt
2.5 t. yeast
5-6 c. flour
In mixing bowl cover shotrening, sugar, and salt with 3/4 c. boiling water. Once shortening is melted, add another 3/4c. room temp water.
Meanwhile, mix yeast with 1/2 c. warm water. Sit 3 min.
Stir to dissolve then add to shortening/water mix.
Add 5 c. flour and mix until a nice stiff dough. (I do 3-4 min.)I also put in a few shakes of rosemary and garlic powder! it's best that way!
put in greased bowl and allow to double (about 30 min)
Punch down and divide into 2 portions. Form into loves and place on cookie sheet.
Allow to rise until double again. Once doubled make 2 crosswise slashes per loaf.
Pour a little olive oil in slashes before baking.
Bake in a preheated oven at 400 for 25- 35 min.
