Directions:
Mix the yeast in warm water. Let stand 5 minutes and stir. Pour the boiling
water over the shortening, salt, and sugar and mix well. Add 3/4 cup of cold
water and cool to lukewarm (about 105°-115°F). Add the yeast. Gradually
mix in enough flour to form a stiff dough. Turn out on a floured board and
knead until smooth and shiny. Put in a greased bowl and turn to grease the
top. Cover and let rise 1 1/2 hours until the dough doubles. Shape the dough
into two oblong loaves, about 14 inches long. Put them on a greased cookie
sheet and let rise 1 hour. Brush loaves with the beaten egg whites. With a
knife make three slashes on each loaf. Bake at 425°F for 30 minutes,
then reduce the heat to 350°F and bake 20 minutes. Makes 2 loaves.
