Ingredients

Directions

Dissolve yeast in 1 1/2 cups very warm water. Set aside. Beat together 1 egg, 1/2 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon salt and 10 tablespoons melted shortening. Add this to the yeast mixture. This will take care of 6 to 8 cups flour.
Mix liquids and flour together. Knead well; place in large container to rise - about 2 to 3 hours. Press down and put in refrigerator about 1 hour. It is easier to handle.
Make into rolls, turnovers or pull bread. Let rise again 2 to 3 hours.
Bake at 425°.
Dough that is left keeps real well in refrigerator 1 or 2 days.
TIP: When humidity is high, dough may require as much as one cup more flour than listed in recipe.
