Directions:
Dissolve yeast in water. Add milk, half the flour, sugar, salt and shortening to yeast. Beat until smooth and batter "sheets" off spoon. With hand, mix in enough remaining flour until dough cleans the bowl. Turn onto lightly floured board. Cover; let rest 10 to 15 minutes. Knead for 10 minutes until smooth and blistered. Place in greased bowl, bring greased side up. Cover with cloth. Let rise in warm place until double, about 1 to 2 hours.
Punch down, cover and let rise again until almost double, about 45 minutes. Divide into two parts. Round up and let rest 10 to 15 minutes. Shape into two loaves. Place in greased loaf pans, sealed edge down. Cover with cloth. Let rise until sides reach top of pan, about an hour. Bake in 425 degree oven for 25 to 30 minutes.

This is another recipe from my old Betty Crocker cookbook that I purchased on E-Bay after the one that belonged to my mother-in-law, Jeananne, fell apart from my constant use.
