Instructions
- 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.
- 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.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Uncover dough and bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 45 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and place on a cooling rack. Brush melted butter over top and let cool.
