My favorite easy bread to make. I used to bake bricks! These are great:

Amish White Bread

1 pk dry yeast
1.2 c warm water
1/3 c sugar
2 tsp salt
2 c warm water
2 ½ TBL melted shortening or veg, oil
6 c flour

Dissolve yeast in ½ c warm water
In a large bowl combine sugar, salt, 2 c warm water and shortening. Stir in yeast mixture. Gradually add flour to form a soft dough. Mix together until smooth. (with hands)
Place in greased bowl, cover let rise 2 hours. Punch down divide in two to form two loaves. Place in greased bread pans, let rise 2 hours.
Bake at 350 got 25 to 30 minutes.
