Preparation

1 Dissolve yeast in warm water in large bowl. Add sugar, salt, shortening and 1/2 of flour. Beat with a spoon (wooden) until batter falls.  2 Gradually add remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time. When you can, gather the dough into a rough lumpy ball that almost clings to the side of the bowl.
