Yeast Bread

3 cups milk
3 envelopes dry yeast
3/4 cup shortening
1 cup warm water
1/2 cup sugar
10-12 cups flour
2 tablespoons salt

Scald milk. Put shortening, sugar and salt in bowl; pour in hot milk. Stir until sugar is melted. Cool mixture until just warm. Stir yeast into 1 cup warm water, and when dissolved, stir in milk. Mix 3 cups flour into milk mixture and beat until smooth. Stir in enough more flour to make it a smooth, soft dough that is easy to handle. Place dough on floured board or table and work until smooth (5 to 8 minutes). Place dough in greased bowl and lightly grease top with soft shortening. Cover with damo cloth, put in warm place and let rise until double in size. Punch down, place on floured board or table and work quickly for a few minutes. Cut into 3 parts and shape into loaves. Place in greased loaf or baking pan, grease tops lightly, cover with damp cloth and let rise in a warm place until double. Bake in a moderate oven (350 degrees F.) for 45 to 55 minutes. When done, remove loaves from pan and rub tops of loaves with margarine. Yield 3 loaves.

For Whole Wheat Bread; Use 5 to 6 cups of whole wheat flour and 5 to 6 cups of plain flour.
