1/2 c Flour

Scald milk and pour over sugar, shortening, & salt. Let it cool to lukewarm  
while softening yeast in a small bowl with the warm water. When soft, add  
the egg and beat together slightly. Pour the yeast/egg mixture into the  
milk mixture and stir them together.ꢀ  
The flour may be sifted or poured into the liquid. With a large spoon, stir  
until flour/milk is well mixed. You should have a firm, but not stiff  
dough. Without removing it from the bowl, cover the dough with a plate or  
towel and set aside to rise until double in bulk (about 2 hrs depending on  
the temperature in the kitchen). Instead of letting the dough rise at this  
point you may put it in the refrigerator and use it later, or the next day.  
Watch to make sure it doesn't spill out of the bowl. If it starts to spill  
before you're ready to use it, punch it back down. Refrigerated dough is  
easier to handle but takes longer to rise.ꢀ  
BREAD: If you want to make bread, dump the dough out of the bowl onto a  
floured surface and with more flour as needed to keep it from sticking,  
knead it until springy and easy to handle. This dough does not require a  
lot of kneading; only enough to make it easy to handle. For 2 medium size  
loaves cut the dough in half and knead/shape each into loaves and put into  
greased baking pans. Allow about 2 hours for the dough to double again.  
Bake in a 375 degree oven until lightly browned on top (if uncertain  
whether or not bread is done, tip out of pan and see if bottom is browned  
too).ꢀ  
ROLLS: To make rolls, work and knead dough until springy and easily  
handled. Roll out with a rolling pin and cut with a biscuit cutter and fold  
over and place on a greased cookie sheet (Parkerhouse rolls), or break  
dough into small pieces, make into little balls and place 3 in each section  
of a greased muffin pan (Cloverleaf rolls).ꢀ  
SWEET ROLLS: For Christmas bread or sweet rolls, roll out dough as for  
Parkerhouse rolls, except trying to make an oblong instead of a round.  
Spread it with raisins and sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar. Dot with  
butter and roll as for a jelly roll. Slice and place on a greased pan or  
make into a circle and make slashes through the dough at intervals. Let  
rise and bake as for loaves. Top with an icing made of confectioners'  
sugar, melted butter, milk, and vanilla or rum flavoring and drizzle over  
the bread or rolls while hot. Decorate with nuts or fruits.ꢀ  
If you want to make a whole wheat bread, use half white and half whole  
wheat flour, and use brown sugar instead of white. The amounts above will
