Makes 1 loaf

Combine:
1/2 cup milk, scalded
3 tbsp. shortening
1 tbsp. sugar
2 tsp. salt

Cool to lukewarm by adding:
1/2 cup water

Add:
1 pkg. active dry yeast or 2 tsp. bulk yeast
1 egg
1/2 cup chopped nuts

Add and mix until dough is well blended:
3 cups flour

This dough will be softer than kneaded dough. Shape into loaf on a well floured board. Place in a greased loaf pan and cover. Let rise in a warm place until double, about 1 hour. Bake at 350 F for 1 hour.

For Raisin Bread:
Omit nuts and add 1 cup raisins and 1 tsp. cinnamon.
