Sweet Yeast Dough Recipe
Ingredients
| Vegetable shortening | 2/3 Cup (16 tbs) | |
| Milk | 1/2 Cup (16 tbs) | |
| Sugar | 1/2 Cup (16 tbs) | |
| Salt | 1 Teaspoon | |
| 2 envelopes active dry yeast | ||
| 1/2 cup very warm water | ||
| Eggs | 4 , beaten | |
| All purpose flour | 4 1/2 Cup (16 tbs), sifted | |
Directions
1. Combine shortening, milk, sugar and salt in saucepan. Heat just until shortening is melted; cool to lukewarm.
2. Sprinkle yeast into very warm water in a large bowl. (Very warm water should feel comfortably warm when dropped on wrist.) Add lukewarm milk mixture, eggs and 2 cups of the flour; beat until smooth. Add just enough of remaining flour to make soft dough.
3. Turn out onto lightly floured pastry board or cloth; knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes, using only enough flour to keep dough from sticking.
4. Place dough in large greased bowl; turn to coat all over with shortening. Cover. Let rise in warm place 1 hour, or until double in bulk.
5. Punch dough down; knead a few times; let rest 5 minutes. Shape into Crumb Cake or Buns
