Mother's White Bread

everyone in my family loves bread, and pretty much carbs in general.
i found this great recipe several years ago, and have gained a reputation of making great bread.
it's obviously the recipe, not me...so i thought i would share it with you.
(this is for you tara!)

Mother's White Bread of Rolls

In a large bowl mix together...
        1 cup milk, room temperature
        1 1/2 cups hot water, abouy 140 degrees
        3/4 cup shortening
        1/2 cup sugar
        1 tsp. salt
        pinch soda
        2 envelopes dry yeast (4 1/2 teaspoons)

Let mixture stand until yeast begins to work.
Stir in thoroughly, a little at a time...
        6-7 cups all purpose flour

Cover and allow dough to rise until double. After second rising turn dough
onto floured board or counter top and knead until all air bubbles are gone.
Form dough into bread or rolls. Cover with a cloth and let rise until almost
double. Bake rolls at 425 degrees, loaves of bread at 400.

I usually make 1 loaf of bread and 18 good sized rolls.


it is so delicious and this is the perfect time of year to be baking anyways!
