Steps:
- Combine yeast, 1/2 C water (105-115 degrees) and 1 t. sugar in bowl and allow to proof. (Until foamy, approximately 5 minutes, or about 10 for standard yeast.).
- Add egg, melted (but not hot) lard, salt and remaining sugar and water (105-115 degrees).
- Add 4 cups flour and beat (with a spoon or mixer) for one minute. Stir in remaining flour one cup at a time, until dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl and can be handled.
- Turn out on a floured surface and knead until dough is smooth and pliable, about 10 minutes .
- Shape into a ball and place into a greased mixing bowl.
- Turn dough over so greased side is on top, cover with a tea towel and allow to rise in a warm place until doubled in size.
- (Approx. 1-1 1/2 hours for rapid rise yeast, 2 hours or so for standard yeast.) Punch dough down, turn it over in the bowl, and allow to rise again until almost doubled in size.
- Punch down and shape into 3 large loaves, or (I prefer) 4 braided loaves.
- (Cut dough into 12 equal pieces, roll each into a long rope and braid them into 4 loaves.) Allow loaves to rise.
- Brush with egg wash (1 egg, 1 t. sugar, 1 t. water) or milk, if desired, and sprinkle with Aunt Jane's salt.
- Bake in 375°F oven for approximately 17 minutes. (braids) or 30-40 minutes (loaves) until brown on the outside and sounds hollow when tapped.

Tips:
- For the best results, use high-quality ingredients. Freshly milled flour, organic sugar, and real butter will make a big difference in the taste of your bread. - Be sure to let the dough rise in a warm place. This will help it to develop a light and airy texture. - If you don't have a stand mixer, you can make the dough by hand. Just be sure to knead it for at least 10 minutes, until it is smooth and elastic. - When baking the bread, be sure to preheat the oven to the correct temperature. This will help to ensure that the bread bakes evenly. - Keep an eye on the bread while it is baking. Once it has reached an internal temperature of 190 degrees Fahrenheit, it is done.Conclusion:
White bread is a classic for a reason. It is simple, delicious, and versatile.
