    Title: Sweepstakes White Bread
    Categories: Breads
    Yield: 2 Loaves

    2 1/2 ts Active dry yeast (1/4 oz
    -pkg)
    1/4 c Water; warm (110°F/45°C)
    1/2 ts Sugar
    1 c Milk; scalded
    3 tb Shortening; scant
    3 tb Sugar; scant
    1 tb Salt
    3/4 c Water; cold
    2 1/2 c All-purpose flour; up to
    -2-3/4 c
    2 1/2 c Bread flour; up to 2-3/4 c
    Butter

    Preparation time: 4 hours 30 minutes

    In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water with 1/2 ts sugar.

    In a large bowl, combine scalded milk, sugar, shortening, and salt.
    Add cold water to cool mixture to lukewarm. Stir in dissolved yeast,
    2 cups all purpose flour, and 2 cups bread flour. Beat well until
    smooth. By hand, stir in enough additional flour to make a stiff
    dough. Turn out dough onto a floured surface, knead minimum of 10
    minutes or until dough is smooth and elastic. Wash and grease a large
    bowl. Place dough in bowl. Cover with plastic film; let rise in a
    warm place 60-75 minutes or until doubled in size.

    Punch down dough. Cover, let rise 30 minutes.

    Punch down dough. Divide dough in 2 pieces; shape in oblongs. Cover
    with an inverted bowl and let rest 15 minutes. Grease two 8-1/2 x
    4-1/2" loaf pans. Shape dough pieces in loaves. Place in greased pans
    and lightly grease tops of loaves. Cover and let rise until loaves
    are light and almost as high as you want them when baked, about 45 to
    60 minutes.

    Preheat oven to 400°F (205°C). Bake in preheated oven 45 minutes or
    until loaves sound hollow when lightly tapped. Remove from pans.
    Immediately butter tops of warm loaves.

    Notes: second place winner in 1990, 1993, and 1995 Minnesota State
    Fair. Finally won the Blue Ribbon in 2000! I do it all in the
    Kitchen-Aid mixer. I think I bake it for about 30 minutes at 375°F.
