2 1/4 teaspoon yeast 1/2 cup water 1 3/4 cup milk 2 tablespoon sugar 2 teaspoon salt 2 tablespoon shortening 6 cup White Lily bread flour

Stir in enough of remaining flour to make a fairly stiff dough. Turn out onto lightly floured surface. Knead 10 minutes, slowly add flour a tablespoon at a time, as needed, to prevent sticking. Place dough in greased bowl, turning to greased surface is on top. Cover with damp towel and let rise in a warm place (such as an oven with a pan of hottest tap water on rack below) for an hour or until doubled in size.

Punch down dough. Turn out onto lightly floured surface. Divide dough in half. Shape each half into smooth ball. Cover with damp towel. Let rest for

In the South of UK?

I believe that Knoxville, Tennessee is STILL in the United States of America. Soft wheat winter flour will be available in the UK....the reference was only for the purpose of illustrating what "type" of flour that White Lily makes and where they are located.

.

The poster was from the UK and not interested in flour that you have available in TN. And you do NOT know if that that particular type of flour is available in the UK. It is not available in many locations in the Northern part of the U.S.

Actually, it is available throughout the continental USofA.

Actually,...........alzelt didn't understand that the location of the flour was irrelivant....the "type" of flour was the issue. Soft winter wheat flour is available worldwide. Maybe after a small nap, they (azelt) will be able to concentrate better.
