Answer 1

White Bread

1/4 cup warm Water (105-115 Degrees)
2 pkg. Active Dry Yeast
2 2/3 cup warm Water
1/4 cup Sugar
1 tbs. Salt
3 tbs. Shortening
8-10 cups All-Purpose Flour (if using Self-rising flour omit salt)
Soft Butter or Margarine

Dissolve yeast in 3/4 cup warm water. Stir in 2 2/3 cups warm water, sugar salt, shortening and 5 cups of the flour. Beat until smooth. Mix in enough remaining flour to make dough easy to handle. Turn dough onto lightly floured board; knead until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. Place in a greased bowl; turn greased side up. Cover; let rise in warm place until double, about 1 hour. (Dough is ready if impression remains.) Punch down dough; divide in half. Roll each half into rectangle. 18X9 inches. Roll up, beginning at short side. With side of hand, press each end to seal. Fold ends under loaf. Place seam side down in greased loaf pan. 9X5X3 inches. Brush loaves lightly with butter. Let rise until double, about 1 hour. Heat oven to 425 degrees. Place loaves on low rack so that tops of pans are in the center of oven. Pans should not touch each other or sides of oven. Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until deep golden brown and loaves sound hollow when tapped. Remove from pans. Brush loaves with soft butter; cool on wire racks.



Whole Wheat Rolls

Into a bowl, combine
1 cup Shortening
1/2 cup Sugar
1/2 tsp Salt
1 cup Boiling Water

Stir until Shortening is melted.

Into a small bowl, combine
1 cup lukewarm Water
2 pkg. Dry Yeast

Let stand until yeast has come to the top. Stir and add to cooled first mixture.

Add:
2 Eggs, slightly beaten
3 cups Whole Wheat Flour

Beat for 2 minutes. Add about 2 1/2 cups plain white flour or enough to make moderately firm dough. Cover and place in refrigerator. Keep punched down until dough is cold. After a few hours, rolls may be made out. Brush with melted butter. Let rise and bake at 400 degrees. Dough will keep for 2 to 3 days in refrigerator or may be baked and frozen.

Get yourself a book called "Crust and Crumb" it is one of the best bread making books out there. It is written for people with very little baking knowledge. It will teach you everything from Sour Doughs, to Quick breads and everything in between. It's a good read, you will learn a lot.

Skip the process! Just go to a bakery. It is a time-consuming activity and not worthy at all. Last time I tried, I spent the whole Sunday morning at my parents' house.
