2 c. warm water
2 pkgs. dry yeast
1/2 c. sugar
1/4 c. soft shortening
1 egg
2 tsp. salt
6 or 7 c. flour

Mix first 6 ingredients and gradually add flour. I use the mixer for the first 2 or 3 cups flour. Then I add by large spoon and finally knead by hand. Place mound of dough in a large greased bowl. Cover it. Refrigerate for 2 hours. This can be refrigerated for 3 or 4 days. After kneading and panning out let it rise 2 or 3 hours in a warm spot covered with a clean cloth. Bake at 400 degrees for 12 to 18 minutes.
