Ingredients:

  • 2 (2 1/4 oz) packages yeast
  • 1/2 cup warm water
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1 tbsp salt
  • 1/4 cup shortening
  • 1 3/4 cups warm water
  • 6 -7 cups wheat flour

Directions:

  1. Dissolve the yeast in the 1/2 cup of warm water in a large bowl.
  2. Stir in the honey, salt, shortening, 1 3/4 cups warm water, and 3 1/2 cups of the flour. Beat until smooth.
  3. Add flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until the dough leaves the sides of the bowl almost clean.
  4. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured board and knead for about 10 minutes.
  5. Shape the dough into a ball and place in a greased bowl. Turn the dough so the greased side is up. Cover with a clean towel and let rise until double, about 1 hour.
  6. Punch the dough down and divide in half.
  7. Shape into 2 loaves and place in greased loaf pans.
  8. Cover and let rise about 1/2 hour.
  9. Heat the oven to 375 degrees.

  11. Bake 40 to 45 minutes.
