Bread is so good but I can't eat as much of it as I want sadly.

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

Title: Adobe Bread
Categories: Bakery, Native, Breads
Yield: 2 Loaves

1 pk Active dry yeast (1/4 oz)
1/4 c Lukewarm water
1 ts Salt
3 tb Vegetable shortening, melted
1 c Cold water
4 1/2 c All purpose flour

In a large bowl, soften the yeast in the lukewarm water. Mix the
salt, 2 tablespoons of the shortening, and the cold water together
and add to the yeast mixture.

Sift in the flour gradually, beating well after each addition for a
smooth consistency. You will probably have to knead in the final cup
of flour.

Shape the dough into a ball, brish lightly with the remaining
shortening, and cover with a dry cloth. Set the bowl in a warm place
until doubled in bulk, anout 1 hour.

Punch the dough down and, on a floured board, knead about 5 minutes.
Shape into 2 round loaves on a well greased baking sheet. Cover with
a dry cloth and set to rise another 45 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 400F. Bake the loaves on a cookie sheet 50
minutes, until they are light brown and sound hollow when tapped.
