Dissolve yeast in warm water in a large bowl. Add sugar, shortening, egg, salt, & half of the flour. Beat at a low speed with an electric mixer until smooth. Stir in enough flour to make a soft dough. Place dough in a greased bowl, turning to grease the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place (85º), free from drafts, 1 hour or until doubled in bulk, or cover and refrigerate up to 5 days. Punch dough down, turn out onto a lightly flour surface and knead 4 or 5 times. Shape and bake as directed in the other recipes.

Use this dough for the Braided Loaf, Cheese Crescents, and Cinnamon Loaf recipes.
