shortening, 2 cups hot water

Preparation
Mix together the ingredients in Part 1. Mix together
the ingredients in part 2. When Part 1 cools, mix
it with part 2 (Not too hot or the yeast won't rise).
Mix in the 6 1/2 cups flour Knead into a ball and
place in a greased bowl. Punch down after 10 minutes.
Repeat the process 5 times. Divide the dough into
two balls and let it rest 10 minutes. Roll or pat
the dough down into 1/2 inch thick rectangles and
then roll up like a jelly roll. Seal the ends and
seams. I place the loaves side by side in a 9"x13"
pan or they can be placed on a greased cookie sheet.
With a sharp knife, score 4 diagonal slices across
the top of each bread. Let rise until double or close
to double. Bake at 400 degrees for thirty minutes.

Comments
I categorized this as breakfast but it can be used
at every meal. This is a great recipe to prepare while
cruising. I use one bread and keep the other refrigerated
since the bread contains no preservatives. Bring the
bread as your contribution to a sun-downer. Make it
with white flour, slice it open while warm and place
pats of butter inside to melt. Sprinkle with cinnamon
and sugar. Wrap in foil and bring to the party.
