Directions
Stir to blend well.
Add remaining sugar and the salt to hot milk and cool to lukewarm.
Stir softened yeast and add milk mixture and blend.
Stir in 3 cups of the flour; add shortening and mix well.
Add remaining flour gradually and mix thoroughly.
Turn onto lightly floured board (use 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour for kneading and shaping loaves) and knead 10 minutes.
Place in a clean greased bowl; turn once to bring greased side up.
Cover and allow to rise in a warm place (86° F.) away from drafts until doubled in bulk (about 1 hour).
Turn out onto board again, divide in half.
Round up each portion, cover, let rest 10 minutes.
Shape into loaves and grease tops.
Place in well greased pans (4 1/2" x 8 1/4" x 2 3/4").
Cover, set in warm place (86° F.) until light, and rounded tops come above sides of pans (about 1 hour).
Bake in a moderately hot oven (400° F.) for 10 minutes.
Reduce heat to moderate (375° F.) and bake 40 minutes longer.
Remove from pan to wire rack; cool uncovered away from drafts.
Makes 2 loaves.
