Ingredients:

3 pkgs. Active Dry Yeast
1.5 cup Warm Water
¼ cup sugar
¼ cup Shortening
3.5 – 4 cups Wheat Flour or 3.5 – 4 cups All Purpose flour
1 tsp Salt
½ tsp Baking soda
2 Eggs, optional
½ cup Fine Bread Crumbs

Procedures:

• Pour warm water into a big bowl. Add sugar and yeast. Allow to soften and set aside. In another bowl combine flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside ½ of the flour mixture as dusting flour.

• Add eggs to yeast suspension before adding half of the flour mixture to yeast. Stir in shortening and the rest of the mix; blend well. Transfer dough onto floured board and knead until smooth and elastic. (Using Kitchen Aid Mixer kneads on speed 2 for 7 – 10 minutes.)

• Form dough into ball and return to bowl. Cover with damp cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk, about 50 – 60 minutes. Punch down: let rest for 10 minutes.

• Divide dough into 2 and shape into rods with about 1.5 inches in diameter. Roll on bread crumbs; cut into 1.5 inches long and arrange on greased baking sheet. Cut strip on side up about 1 inch long. Sprinkle with more bread crumbs.

• Let rise in warm place free from draft for 50 – 60 minutes. Bake in preheated oven at 425 degrees for 15 – 25 minutes or until done.
