Homemade White Bread

 HOMEMADE WHITE BREAD

Recipe:

6 cups hot water
3/4 cup shortening or vegetable oil
6 heaping Tablespoons sugar
3 scant Tablespoons salt
1/2 cup warm water
2-3 Tablespoons yeast
5 lbs. flour

Mix yeast in 1/2 cup warm water, let bloom.  To your bread mixer add hot water, oil, sugar, salt and half the flour.  (I have a Bosch and love, love, love, it.)  

Mix with the dough hook until it looks soupy, then add the bloomed yeast.  After the yeast is blended, add the rest of the flour. 

 Let mix about 8-10 minutes.  Let rise, punch down, let rise again, punch down, shape for loaf pans. 

 

Bake at 350 for 30 minutes. 

Makes 4-6 loaves depending on size of loaf pans.
