## Ingredients

- 3 C all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp active dry yeast
- 2 TBS warm water
- 1 C warm whole milk
- 1 TBS sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 TBS shortening
- butter

## Instructions

1. Get your active dry yeast and get it active by adding 1 heaping teaspoon of active dry yeast to 2 tablespoons of warm water and mixing it up. Set aside.
2. In a large bowl, add 1 cup of warm whole milk, 1 tablespoon of sugar, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 a tablespoon of shortening.
3. Mix until the shortening is melted into the milk.
4. Sift in 1 cup of all-purpose flour and mix until it's all combined and has the consistency of a thick pancake batter.
5. Add in your yeast mixture and mix it up again.
6. Add in two more cups of all-purpose flour and mix until it becomes a moderately stiff dough and comes together like a dough ball.
7. Lightly flour your work surface and turn out your dough.
8. Knead the dough for about 8 to 10 minutes until it's smooth and satiny.
9. Shape the dough into a big dough ball.
10. Oil the sides of the bowl where you mixed the dough, place the dough ball in, and turn it over to coat all sides.
11. Cover the bowl and let the dough rest to double in size for about an hour and a half.
12. Punch down the dough to release the extra air.
13. Cover it back up and let it rest for another 45 minutes until it has doubled in size again.
14. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and roll it out into a long rectangle.
15. Roll it up like a jelly roll, pushing it down and pinching the seams with every roll.
16. Seal off the edges by crimping and folding them in.
17. Stick the dough in a lightly greased loaf pan.
18. Cover it again and let it rise and double in size for another hour.
19. Bake it at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 35 minutes.
20. Remove from oven and turn the bread out from the pan.
21. Brush the top with some butter.
22. Allow it to cool before slicing.
