    | 1. In a small bowl, combine the water, yeast, shortening, sugar, oil and salt. | 2. Let stand for 5 minutes. | 3. In a large mixer bowl, put 2 1/2 cups of the flour, add liquid (yeast) mixture. | 4. Beat by hand or on low speed of electric mixer until all ingredients are well blended. | 5. Stir in as much of the remaining flour as you can mix in with a spoon. | 6. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. | 7. Knead in enough of the remaining flour to make a moderately stiff dough that is smooth and elastic (about 6-8 minutes of kneading). | 8. Shape dough into a ball and place it into a lightly greased bowl. | 9. Turn dough once to grease all surfaces. | 10. Cover the bowl, and let the dough rise in a warm place until doubled (about 40-60 minutes). | 11. Punch down dough, and divide it into 6 equal pieces. | 12. Cover it and let it rest for 10 minutes. | 13. Roll each piece (by hand) into a 12 inch long rope. | 14. Using 3 ropes for each loaf, braid the dough and secure the ends of the braid by tucking the ends underneath. | 15. Place the braids on greased baking sheets. | 16. Cover the braids, and let rise until nearly doubled (about 30-45 minutes). | 17. Brush top and sides of loaves with the beaten egg. | 18. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. | 19. Bake in a 400°F oven for 25 minutes, or until bread tests done and is golden brown. | 20. Remove from baking sheet and cool on wire rack. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
