Homemade Bread

     Nothing smells better than walking into a room and smelling freshly baked bread.  Yum!!!  I cannot imagine a world without bread.  That would just be WRONG!!!  I have several recipes for homemade bread.  They are all delicious.  Some are really sweet, some are soft, etc..  This recipe came from my dear grandma.

Homemade Bread:

2 T lard
1 T sugar
2 c hot water
2 1/4 t yeast
1/4 c lukewarm water
6-7 c flour

Combine sugar, lard & salt in a large bowl.  Slowly pour in  the hot water and stir.  Let this cool to lukewarm before you proceed.  Dissolve yeast in a small bowl with the lukewarm water.  Add to the other ingredients.  Stir in the flour a cup at a time until you get a soft dough.  Let it rise in a greased bowl for 1 hour.  Punch down the dough & divide between two greased loaf pans.  Cover the pans and let the dough rise for 30 minutes.  Bake at 400 degrees for 50 minutes.
