1/4 cup Crisco or 1/4 cup vegetable shortening
2 teaspoons salt
2 cups hot water
4 cups white flour

This bread was a bit too dense for my taste, but the flavor was good. I think I would try using less flour next time.

I'm not a big fan of fennel, but I decided to give this recipe a try anyway. I was pleasantly surprised! The fennel flavor was not overpowering at all, and it really complemented the other flavors in the bread. I will definitely be making this again.

This bread was a bit too dry for my taste, but the flavor was good. I think I would try adding more liquid next time.
