Directions:
- Combine water and yeast, let set 5 minutes, until yeast is dissolved and coming to the top of the water, stirring occasionally. Meanwhile, combine flour, salt and sugar in a large bowl.
- Add yeast mixture to flour mixture and stir with wooden spoon until flour is moistened. Stir in oil. Dough should be soft and slightly sticky. With hands, shape dough into a ball. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead 10-12 minutes or until smooth and springy.
- Rub shortening on all sides of a large bowl. Flour lightly. Form dough into a ball, place in bowl, turning once to coat on all sides, then cover and let rise in a warm place until double in size- about 40 minutes. If indentation stays when presed with finger, dough is ready.
- Gently deflate dough by pressing fist into it. Re-shape into a ball, place on lightly floured surface, cover and let rise until double in size- 40 minutes.
- Spray a cookie sheet with non-stick spray. Pull dough ball into an 18 by 6 rectangle by pulling sides away from each other. Place diagonally on prepared cookie sheet, press down with gently with fingers until about 1/2 thick, cover and let rise until double in size- about 30 minutes. Dough's surface will be bumpy.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly dust bread with flour and bake 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and it sounds hollow when thumped. Remove from oven. Slice.
