Dixie's White Bread

Mix and set aside:
1 1/2 T yeast
1/4 cup warm water
1/2 T sugar

Mix in mixer:
3 cups hot water
1 T salt
1/2 c sugar
1/2 c margarine or shortening
4 c flour

Mix to paste and add yeast mixture.  Let rest a few minutes.  Add flour until the dough pulls away from the sides of the mixer.  Knead and then put in a greased pan.  Let the dough raise until it doubles in size.  Punch down.  Le the dough rise again.  Form into 3 loaves.  Let rise.  Bake at 350 F for 40 minutes.

This is the recipe Dixie uses for cinnamon rolls also.  Just roll out the bread dough, spread it with melted butter, sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon and cut into rolls.  Immediately after taking the rolls out of the oven frost with butter frosting.
