Fool-Proof Braided Bread

I got this recipe from an old ward cook book - I love it! I love homemade bread and this one is easy.



Fool-Proof Braided Bread

1 cup milk, scalded
¼ cup shortening
2 Tbl. margarine or butter
2 tsp. salt
½ cup sugar
2 eggs
6 cups flour
2 Tbl. Yeast, mixed with ½ cup warm water & 1 tsp. sugar

Preheat oven to 350°. Mix shortening, margarine, salt and sugar. Pour scalded milk over it, mix and cool.
Add the yeast mixture, eggs and flour. Knead and let rise for 1 hour. Punch down dough and divide into 2 parts. Divide each part into three ropes.
Braid the three ropes and place on baking sheet. Let rise for ½ hour. Bake for 20-25 minutes. Brush melted button on top before serving.
