White Bread

In very large bowl add:

2 T Active Dry Yeast
2 T Salt
1 C Sugar
6 C White flour
1 C Vegetable Shortening
5 C Steaming Hot Tap Water
2 Large Eggs

Mix well and add:
5-7 C White Flour

Continue to add flour a little at a time until bread can be kneaded. Rest dough for 10 minutes if desired. Knead dough for about 5-10 minutes depending on how fast you knead. Cover dough and let rise until double in bulk--about 2 hours.
Punch down dough, form into loaves and place in 6 greased loaf pans(regular size)
Cover and let rise for an hour.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Bake bread for 10 minutes. Turn oven to 325 and bake for about 25 more minutes.
Remove from pans and cool on racks.
Enjoy!
This recipe makes great cinnamon bread or cinnamon rolls.
