Bubble Bread

Crumble yeast into water.

Place milk, sugar, salt and egg in mixing bowl.

Blend.

Add 2 cups flour and beat until bubbles form on surface.

Add melted shortening and about half remaining flour. Mix in additional flour to form soft dough.

Turn dough out onto a floured board and knead dough until it is smooth, so it is elastic and can be easily handled.

Press dough into a lightly greased bowl; turn dough over so greased side is up.

Cover and allow to rise to double in bulk.

Knead down and divide into 18 portions. Shape into balls; lightly butter and coat with sugar-cinnamon mixture (1 cup sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon).
