Pizza Dough

Pizza Dough
---

1 cup Shortening
1 cup boiling water

2 eggs beaten with fork

1/3 cup sugar
2 tsp salt
1 cup warm water
2 yeast packages

about 6 cups flour

------

In a small/medium sized bowl, put two yeast packages and lukewarm water.  Sprinkle some of the 1/3 cup of sugar into the yeast to help it rise.

In a large bowl, put shortening, sugar, salt, and boiling water.  Break up shortening with spoon so it melts a little easier with the boiling water.  Will not be completely melted.

Add in eggs and yeast mixture.  Add in flour one cup at a time and mix well.  Should use somewhere between 5 &1/2 and 6 cups of flour.
