1/2 c. water, warmed
2 c. water, hot
3 T. sugar
1 T. salt
5 T. shortening or vegetable oil, melted
6 c. flour
1 egg white
2 T. sesame seeds
Dissolve yeast in 1/2 cup warm water and let stand 10 minutes. In large bowl, combine 2 cups hot water, sugar, salt, shortening and half of the flour; beat well. Stir in dissolved yeast. Stir in remaining flour. Mix well, leaving spoon in batter; allow to rest again for 10 minutes. Stir vigorously. Repeat 4 times. Turn out dough on floured surface. Divide in half. Roll each half into 9 x 12 rectangle. Starting at long edge, roll loosely as for jelly roll. Seal edge, place both rolls, seam side down, on one large baking sheet. Gash top with 3 X's with sharp knife. Brush with beaten egg white. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Let raise 30 minutes. Bake at 400' for 20 minutes. (Dough is sticky and hard to work with first out of bowl.)
(I got this recipe when I was first married and it has never failed me or anyone that I have passed it on to. It is always a hit!)
