Casserole Bread Batter Method

Casserole Bread
Brought to us from Aunt Penny
 
1 cup milk
3 tbs sugar
1 tsp salt
1 1/2 tbs shortening
1 cup lukewarm water
2 pkgs or cakes yeast, active dry or compressed
4 1/2 cups flour

Scald milk, stir in sugar, salt and shortening, Cool to lukewarm measure warm water into a bowl, sprinkle or crumble in yeast, stir until softened blend in the lukewarm milk mixture.
 
Add flour and stir until well blended, about two minutes. Cover and let rest in a warm place, free from drafts, about 40 minutes or untill double in bulk. 
 
Stir batter down. Beat vigorously about 1/2 minute. Turn into a greased 1 1/2 quart casserole, a square 8x8 pan or an 8 in tube pan. I use a large loaf pan or two small ones.
 
Bake uncovered at 375 F for about 1 hour. No kneeding, no fuss. but so yummy!
