Aunt Grace'S Whole Wheat Bread - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 pkg. yeast
2 c. warm water
1 scant c. sugar
3 tsp. salt
1 c. Crisco
1 c. hot water
3 eggs
4 c. all-purpose flour
4 c. whole wheat flour

Preparation

Cream sugar,
salt
and shortening; pour hot water over and stir
until
blended
and
dissolved.
Cool.
Meanwhile, sprinkle yeast
over
warm water (sprinkle a little sugar over to make yeast foam more quickly).
Beat eggs, which have been at room temperature
for 30 or more minutes.
Blend all above ingredients together
and
add
flours, mixing well.
(More or less flour
may be needed; make a fairly stiff dough).
Knead lightly on floured board
4 or 5 minutes.
Put into a greased container, turning dough
once,
cover
and put in warm place free from draft.
Allow to rise until doubled in bulk.
