1 1/2 c Water
1/2 c Sugar
1/2 c Shortening
2 ts Salt
1 c Water, cold
2 tb Yeast
6 1/2 c Flour to 7 cups
Heat 1 1/2 cup water and other ingredient til hot. Add cold water. In a
large bowl, mix 4 cups flour and yeast. Add warm liquid. Beat 2 minutes.
Add 3 cups more flour gradually until proper consistency is reached. Knead
3 minutes with dough hook. Let rise 1 to 1 1/2 hour. Make into 2 loaves.
Rise again. Bake at 350 35-40 minutes. 1 cup oatbran may be substituted
for 1 cup of flour. I imagine you coud do the same with whole wheat or
other types.
