Uncle Howard's Bread

When I was first married in 1982, Uncle Howard gave me his 'famous' bread recipe. For years, I would use it to make bread for my family and friends - as well as pizza crusts, fried dough, etc. Every time I was asked about the recipe - I'd share that it was my Uncle Howard's and it was awesome!

Here is how he told it to me:

Uncle Howard Eldredge's Bread Recipe   Sprinkle 2 pkgs dry yeast over 2 cups warm water   Add 2 eggs, 1/2 c sugar, 1/2 c liquid shortening (melted Crisco or veg. oil) & 1 tbsp Salt   Stir well, mix in enough flour to make a soft dough (about 6-8 cups)   Let rise until double - put in pans and let rise again until double   Bake at 350F about 25-30 min until a thump on the top sounds hollow   makes 2 large or 4 regular loaves.     Also: take a handful of dough, stretch into a flat circle, and fry in hot oil - sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar for New England style fried dough treats
