Categories     Yeast Breads

Time 3h45m

Yield 4 loaves

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 (1/4 ounce) packages yeast
3 cups milk, lukewarm
1 1/2 tablespoons salt
1/2 cup shortening
1 cup warm water
1/2 cup sugar
4 eggs
12 cups all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • Dissolve yeast in warm water. Stir in milk, sugar, salt, eggs, shortening and 6 cups flour. Beat until smooth; mix in enough remaining flour to make dough easy to handle.
  • Turn dough onto floured board; knead until smooth and elastic.
  • Place in greased bowl, greased side up. Cover, let rise 2 hours.
  • Punch dough down; divide into 4 equal pieces.
  • Shape into loaves and place in greased loaf pans.
  • Cover, let rise again about 1 hour.
  • Bake at 375 degrees for 45 minutes or until golden brown.

Tips:

  • Activate the yeast properly: Always check the expiration date on the yeast packet to ensure its freshness. To activate dry yeast, dissolve it in lukewarm water (105-115°F) with a pinch of sugar for 5-10 minutes, until it becomes foamy.
  • Use fresh eggs: Fresh eggs provide a richer flavor and help the bread rise better. Check the eggs for cracks or blemishes before using them.
  • Proof the bread in a warm place: A warm environment helps the yeast to work effectively and allows the bread to rise properly. You can place the dough in a warm oven (turned off) with a bowl of hot water or in a sunny spot in your kitchen.
  • Bake the bread until it reaches an internal temperature of 190°F: Use a digital thermometer to accurately measure the internal temperature of the bread. This ensures that the bread is cooked thoroughly and has achieved the desired doneness.
  • Let the bread cool before slicing: Allow the bread to cool for at least 15-20 minutes before slicing it. This helps the bread to set and maintain its shape, resulting in cleaner and more even slices.
