Ingredients

 
1/2 cup sugar
 
1/2 cup shortening
 
2 teaspoons salt
 
1 cup warm milk (105° to 115°)
 
2 beaten eggs
 
2 packages active dry yeast
 
1 cup warm water (105° to 115°)
 
6 1/4 to 6 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

Directions

1 In a large mixing bowl place sugar, shortening, and salt. Add warm milk and stir to soften shortening; cool. Beat in eggs. Soften yeast in the warm water; stir into shortening mixture.
2 Add 4 cups of the flour. Using a wooden spoon, beat until smooth. Stir in as much of the remaining flour as you can.
3 Shape into ball. Turn out onto floured surface. Knead in enough of the remaining flour to make a moderately soft dough that is smooth and elastic (8 to 10 minutes total). Place in greased bowl, turning once to grease surface of dough. Cover; let rise in warm place until double in size (about 1 1/4 hours).
4 Punch dough down. Grease two 9x5x3-inch or three 8x4x2-inch loaf pans. Divide dough into halves or thirds. Cover; let rest 10 minutes. Shape dough into loaves. Place in prepared pans. Let rise in warm place until double in size (45 to 60 minutes).
5 Bake in a 375° oven about 25 minutes or until bread sounds hollow when lightly tapped. If necessary, cover with foil the last 5 to 10 minutes of baking to prevent overbrowning. Immediately remove from pans. Cool on wire racks.
