Ingredients

1 cake yeast
1/2 c. lukewarm water
1/3 c. shortening

1 egg, slightly beaten
1 1/2 tsp. salt
4 c. flour
melted butter

Dissolve yeast in 1/2 cup water; add sugar and 1 cup flour. Set aside for about 10 minutes to form a sponge.
Melt shortening in 1 cup warm water; add egg and stir into sponge.
Beat in salt sifted with 3 cups flour or enough to make a rather stiff dough. Knead until the dough feels elastic and transfer to a large greased bowl.
