2 tbsp. yeast
1/2 c. warm water
2 tsp. sugar
2 tbsp. shortening
2 tsp. salt
2 tbsp. sugar
About 3 3/4 c. sifted flour
2 c. boiling water

Combine yeast, warm water and 2 tsp. sugar. Add shortening, salt and 2 tablespoons sugar to the boiling water. Cool to lukewarm; add to yeast mixture. Stir in the flour, using just enough to make a dough that can be handled. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured board to knead until it is smooth and elastic.

Form into a smooth ball, place in a greased bowl, and turn dough to grease the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until double in size. Push the dough down and divide it into two portions. Roll each portion into a 12 by 15 inch rectangle. Roll each rectangle up tightly as for jelly roll. Seal edges well. Bake at 375 degrees for 20-25 minutes.
