White Bread

Makes 2 loaves

INGREDIENTS:
1 package Active Quick Rise yeast
1/3 cup warm water
1 1/3 cup warm water
2 tbsp. Sugar
1 1/2 tsp. salt
2 1/2 tsp. vegetable oil
5 cups flour

Dissolve yeast in 1/3 cup warm water. Stir in 1 1/3 cup warm water, sugar, salt, shortening and 3 cups of flour.  Beat until smooth.  Mix in remaining flour to make dough easy to handle.  Knead until smooth and elastic.  Place in a greased bowl and turn greased side up. Cover; let rise in a warm place until doubled in size. Punch down and separate in half.  Roll each dough half into a rectangle and roll up.  Pinch ends and fold under to seal.  Place bread loaves on a greased baking sheet.  Let rise 30 minutes.  Bake at 400 degrees for about 20 minutes.  Bread is done when it makes a hollow sound when tapped.

Brush baked bread with butter and wipe with a paper towel.

FYI:  I DO NOT make my dough by hand.  I can't stand to have my hands all sticky and full of dough so I Put all of the water in my bread machine, followed by the yeast then the rest of the ingredients and then set it on the dough/pasta setting.  After the kneading cycle is finished I remove it from the bread machine and put it into the greased bowl.  No messy dough hands for this chic!
