Shortening Powder

Home Style White Bread
8 1/2 cups Augason Farms Enriched Bleached Flour
2 1/2 cups lukewarm water
4 (1/4 ounce) packages dry or compressed yeast
1 teaspoon Augason Farms Iodized Salt
1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons Augason Farms Shortening Powder
4 teaspoons sugar

Dissolve yeast in 1/4 cup warm water with a pinch of sugar, sit until yeast foams.  Stir in remaining warm water and shortening powder.  Whisk dry ingredients together.  Add half the flour to yeast mixture, mix.  Turn dough out onto lightly floured surface.  Knead dough until smooth and elastic.  Place dough in a greased bowl, turning to grease the surface.  Cover with a clean, damp cloth and let rise until doubled.  Punch dough down and cut into 4 equal pieces.  Form each piece into a smooth loaf shape, tucking under ends and positioning seams at the bottom.  Place into oiled loaf pans, lightly dusted with flour.  Allow dough to rise until doubled, about 1 hour.  Bake at 375˚F for about 35 minutes.  After 5 minutes, remove loaves from pans, cool on wire rack.  Yield: 4 loaves.
