2. Let the liquid stand for ten minutes or until the yeast becoms foamy and floats to the top.
3. sift the flour into a bowl. Add 2) and the shortening and mix well. If the dough is too dray, Add water; if too moist add flour.
4. Knead the dough with the heels of one or both hands until smooth and elastic.
