Our favorite bread recipe

Just wanted to share our favorite yeast bread recipe with you. I got this from Carl's uncle (who is a great cook). This works up real quick and really does only take 90 minutes from start to finish. If you want a good multi-grain bread- go check out Pam's place.

Ninety Minute Bread (sorry no picture)

(By Jessie Evans Smith – This recipe was Joseph Fielding Smith’s
favorite bread)

4 cups warm water
7 – 8 Cups flour – (I use as much more flour as needed)
4 yeast cakes (4 Tbsp Dry yeast)
4 tsp. Salt
8 Tbsp sugar
4 Tbsp melted shortening - I like to use butter flavored Crisco

Dissolve yeast in one cup of the warm water with 1 of the Tablespoons of sugar. Mix rest of ingredients. Mix into a soft but not sticky dough. Cut into four pieces and let stand 15 min. Using rolling pin, pound each piece of dough for 1 minute. Form into 4 loaves and put each loaf into a greased bread pan. Let stand 30 minutes. Bake at 400◦ F for 30 minutes.

PS - my pans are the bigger ones so I usually end up with only three loaves. I've also tried it with 1/2 wheat and 1/2 white flour and it turns out pretty good.

ENJOY!
