Ingredients
1½ cups warm water
1½ teaspoons sugar
1 packet active dry yeast
6 cups warm water
¼ cup sugar
14 cups flour (plus extra for kneading)
1½ tablespoons salt
⅔ cup shortening
Directions
In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast with 1½ cups warm water and 1½ teaspoons sugar. Let it sit for about 5–10 minutes until foamy. Add the remaining warm water, sugar, and shortening, then mix well.
Gradually add the flour and salt, mixing until a soft dough forms. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 10–12 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise for about 1–1½ hours, or until doubled in size. Punch down the dough and divide it into portions for your loaf pans. Shape each portion into a loaf and place in greased pans.
