Any simple bread recipes?

Just a basic recipre using sugar, salt, shortening, flour, yeast and water? I want to bake my own bread at home.Any simple bread recipes?
Here's 2 recipes that I have collected.





Easy Rolls





1 pkg. yeast in 1/4 cup warm water 5 cups Self-rising Flour


1/3 cup Sugar 1/2 cup Shortening


1 1/4 cup Water





Sift together dry ingredients. Cut in shortening. Add liquid all at one time. Mix thoroughly. Refrigerate to use at any time. It is not necessary to let them rise but will rise if made out about 1 hour before baking. Bake at 400 degrees for about 12 minutes.





Fool-proof Rolls





3 cups All-purpose Flour 1 pkg. Yeast


1 tsp. Salt 1 cup Warm Water


4 tbs. Dry Milk 6 tbs. Oil


4 tbs. Sugar 1 Egg





In a mixing bowl, add sugar to warm water. Sprinkle yeast on top and let stand 15-20 minutes. Mix all dry ingredients and sift together. Add oil to yeast mixture. Beat egg lightly and add to liquid. Add dry ingredients slowly, mixing well. Place in greased bowl and grease both sides. Cover and let rise about 1 hour. Knead well. Pinch in balls about the size of an egg. Place on well greased pan and let rise for about 1 hour. Bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes.
