FRIDGE DOUGH

1 Pkg. Yeast (abt 2-3 tsp)
1 cup cool water

½ cup sugar

About 6-7 cups flour

1- Mix Yeast in 1 cup cold water
2- Mix eggs, sugar, salt and shortening
3- Combine ingredients of 1 and 2 and Hot Water.
4- Mix in flour until dough is no longer sticky. (Dough will not be firm, but not sticky)
