Blender White Bread

Method:

1. 1

   Combine 1 1/2 cups of the flour and yeast in the container of a blender. Cover and pulse until mixed. Measure the milk, shortening, sugar and salt into a saucepan. Warm over low heat until the shortening is melted.

2. 2

   Remove from the heat and cool until just barely warm to the touch.

3. 3

   Pour this into the blender with the flour.

4. 4

   Add the egg; blend on the lowest setting to mix.

5. 5

   Pour the blended mixture into a bowl, and stir in enough flour to make a moderately stiff dough. Cover with a towel and let rise until doubled in size, about 45 minutes.

6. 6

   Punch down the dough and turn out of the bowl onto a lightly floured surface. Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan while you allow the dough to rest for a few minutes. Shape the dough into a loaf and place into the pan.

7. 7

   Let rise again until double in size, 30 to 40 minutes.

8. 8

   Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

9. 9

   Bake the loaf until deep golden brown, 40 to 45 minutes.
