| 1. Place the 1 C hot water in the microwave for 3 minutes to get it boiling. | 2. Dissolve the yeast into the warm water. Stir it around until it is all mixed. | 3. Combine the salt, shortening, and sugar in the bottom of your mixer with a fork. The dough hook doesn’t work very well. | 4. Pour the boiling water over the shortening mixture. | 5. Pour the cold water over the mixture. | 6. Pour the warm water and yeast into the mixer. | 7. Begin to add the flour, one cup at a time, until the dough pulls away from the side of your mixer. | 8. Let the dough mix on high for 8 minutes. | 9. Let the dough rise in the mixer for about 20 minutes. | 10. Separate the dough into three parts and place on a large jelly roll pan sprayed with cooking spray. Let the dough sit for about 5 minutes. Letting it sit will make it MUCH easier to shape. | 11. Form or roll the dough out to about 1/2 inch thick. | 12. Starting at one edge, roll it into a tube. | 13. Bring the ends up & over, overlapping slightly, flip to seam side down and set to the side while you repeat with the other 2 pieces. | 14. Oil a sharp knife & make 3 diagonal slashes on each loaf (approximately 1/2 inch thick). | 15. Prepare an egg wash (1 beaten egg, 2 T water, mixed well) and gently brush all over the loaves. | 16. Place the loaves in a 170 degree oven for 20 minutes, to rise. | 17. Leaving the loaves in the oven, turn oven up to 400 degrees F and bake for 15 minutes (375 degrees for 10 minutes, for a convection oven). | 18. Turn the oven down to 350 degrees F & bake 10 minutes longer (325 for 7 minutes, for convection). | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
