Ingredients:  
1/4 c. sugar
2 tsp. salt
2 T. shortening or oil
2 1/2 c. warm water (approx. 50º C or 120º F)
2 T. yeast (2 pkgs.)

Directions:
Directions:
Mix together as you would for bread. Knead the dough for approximately 5 min. or until smooth and elastic. Form into a ball, place in greased bowl and turn dough greased side up. Now this is the important part!!! Push dough down with a spoon every 10 min. Do this 5 times. Divide dough into 2 balls and let rest for 10 min. Roll out flat, then roll up jelly roll style. Place on greased cookie sheet - slash every inch or so across the top (only about 1/4" into dough). Let rise approx. 1/2 hour, then bake in a 350º F oven for app. 35 min. or until light brown and sounds hollow when tapped. Enjoy!
