How to make homemade white bread:

Sprinkle yeast over warm (110°) water. Combine sugar, salt, shortening and water in 5-quart bowl. Stir in 8 cups flour; add yeast and enough remaining flour to make a stiff dough. Knead on a lightly floured surface until smooth and satiny (5 to 8 minutes).

Place in greased bowl; turn to bring greased side up. Cover; let rise in warm place (80° to 85°) until doubled (about 1 1/2 hours). Punch down. Divide into 4 loaves; shape and put in greased loaf pans. Bake at 350° about 40 minutes. Test by tapping your finger on the loaf tops. A hollow sound means the loaf is properly baked.
