Recipe ingredients
- Set 1:
- 1/2 cup lukewarm water
- 2 packages dry yeast
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- Set 2:
- 2 cups boiling water
- 2 tablespoons shortening
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons salt
Recipe method
- Mix set 1 ingredients together until dissolved. Mix set 2 ingredients and cool to lukewarm temperature.
- Mix set 1 and set 2 together. Add about 6 1/4 cups flour. Blend well.
- Turn dough upside down every 10 minutes for approximately 4 or 5 times to avoid getting a crust on the dough.
- Divide dough in half and roll as you would pie dough. Roll back up into a jellyroll.
- Make several diagonal cuts across top. Put in bread pan and let rise until double, about 1 hour.
- Just before baking, spread a mixture of 1 egg plus 2 tablespoons milk on top.
- Sprinkle with sesame seeds and/or poppy seeds. For a hard crust, use water with the egg instead of the milk.
- Bake at 425 degrees F for 15 to 25 minutes.
