1 1/2 pkgs. dry yeast
3/4 tbsp. salt
3 tbsp. dry milk
1 3/4 c. warm water
4 heaping tbsp. strained honey
3 1/2 tbsp. melted shortening
2 lg. or 3 sm. eggs
3 c. all purpose flour

Mix ingredients by hand. As ingredients list indicates, begin with 3 cups flour, adding more if necessary until dough reaches proper consistency, using a total of about 6 to 7 half cups. Dough should not stick to hands or be too stiff. (If dough is too stiff, it will bubble during baking. Pop bubbles with a pin.) Knead dough by hand for 8 to 10 minutes, and set aside until doubled in bulk. Knead again shortly and put in pans, letting dough come just to top of pan edges. (Recipe makes two large loaves.) Allow dough to rise 1 inch above pan edges. Brush each loaf with melted shortening and place in 400 degree oven for 25 to 30 minutes.
