List of Ingredients

1 1/4 C. warm water
1 packet active dry yeast
1 T. C&H Pure Cane Granulated Sugar
1 T. shortening, melted
1 1/2 tsp. salt
3 1/2 C. flour
1 beaten egg
1 T. sesame seeds




Recipe

Pour warm water (105° to 115°F) into a large bowl; sprinkle yeast over
top. Stir in sugar, shortening and salt. Add flour, 1/2 cup at a time,
until mixture forms a soft dough. Knead until smooth, about 5 minutes;
leave covered with a tea towel in a warm place; allow to rise for at
least 60 minutes or until doubled in bulk. Preheat oven to 350°F.
Meanwhile generously grease a 9 x 5 x 3-inch loaf pan; punch down to
press out air; place in pan. Allow to rise for about 60 minutes or
until doubled in bulk. Slash the top diagonally in two or three
places, brush with egg, sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake for 30
minutes or until golden brown. Bread will make a hollow sound when
tapped.
