Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water in large bowl. This usually takes about 5 minutes. If you don't see any bubbles/foaming, your yeast is dead, start over.
  2. Add the milk, Crisco, salt, wheat germ, vital wheat gluten, and about 4 cups flour. I usually heat the milk and Crisco in the microwave so the Crisco melts, and the milk gets warm all in one step.
  3. Continue adding flour 1/2 cup at a time until the dough forms a ball, and starts leaving the sides of the bowl.
  4. Knead the bread, adding flour as needed until the dough is smooth and elastic. I usually knead about 3-5 minutes.
  5. Let bread rise in a covered bowl in a warm place until double in size (about 30-60 minutes).
  6. Punch down and form into loaves or rolls and place in a greased and floured pan.
  7. Let rise about 30 minutes more. Bake at 425 degrees 25-30 minutes, or till the bottom of the bread sounds hollow when tapped.
  8. Remove from pans and place on racks to cool.
  9. Butter tops while still warm, if desired. Cool completely before wrapping.
