Comments: Yields three 9-inch loaves. Use 2 cups of scalded skim milk and 1/2 cup water for blooming the yeast. This recipe was originally from Mary Jane Shepherd Gambell, Fa's mother.
Ingredients:
1 Cup milk, whole scalded
0.25 Cup crisco
Directions:
Scald the milk and let cool to room temperature (about 105 degrees) Note: if you have cold water from fridge, pour into scalded milk. That will speed the cooling process.

In a stand mixing bowl, combine 6 cups (768g) of the flour, the salt, Crisco and yeast. Make a well in the center, pour in the water and milk.

Gently stir the center ingredients together with a dough hook, then beat vigorously until all of the flour is absorbed. Add more flour, beating it in 1/4 cup at a time and using as much as necessary to form a dough that can be gathered onto the hook. Then, beat on high for 4-5 minutes. If the dough falls off the hook, add a Tbsp of flour until dough is back on hook.

Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and knead by pressing it down, pushing it forward a couple of times with the heel of your hand and folding it back on itself.

Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly greased bowl. Drape loosely with a kitchen towel or plastic wrap and set aside in the warm draft-free place for 45 minutes, or until the dough doubles in bulk. Punch the dough down with a single blow of your fist and knead it again for a few minutes. Set the dough aside to rest for 10 minutes. (if a proofing oven is available, 30 minutes should be sufficient. In cold weather, 5-10 minutes more may be needed.

With a pastry brush, grease bread pans. Divide the dough into 3 equal pieces. On a lightly floured surface, roll each piece into a loaf shape. Carefully place the loaves into the baking pans and let it rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Brush the top of the loaf with a little Crisco, or oil. Bake in the middle of the oven for 25 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and crusty. Cool on a wire rack.
