How to cook deliciously - Batter White Bread
1. Stage
Combine 1 1/4 cups sifted flour, warm water, shortening, sugar, salt, and yeast in a large bowl; beat by hand for 300 strokes or with an electric mixer for 3 minutes. Mix in remaining 1 3/4 cups sifted flour, scraping the bowl often, until dough is smooth. Cover with a clean cloth and let rise until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
2. Stage
Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan. Punch dough down gently; it will be sticky. Spoon into the prepared loaf pan, patting it down and shaping it with floured hands. Cover and let rise for 30 minutes.
3. Stage
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
4. Stage
Uncover dough and bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 45 minutes.
