Knead until smooth and satiny, about 10 minutes. Put dough in a round Bowl in place in a greased large bowl. Brush lightly with shortening. Cover and let rise in a warm place until double in size, about 1 hour. Punch dough down, cover. Let rest 10 minutes. Shape to form 2 loaves. Place in 2 greased 9 x 5 x 3 inch loaf pans. Brush lightly with melted shortening. Cover, let rise until nearly double in size. Bake about 45 minutes. Makes two loafs.
