Mormon Pioneer Bread Recipe

I came across this little recipe in my many Google searches. I regret that I don't know where I found it. We used it in Young Women's one night. It is a great recipe because you just plop it all in, wait 30 minutes, knead and bake. We used it as Sacrament Bread in our ward for a few weeks. My family loves it!

4 Eggs
1 t. Salt
3 T Yeast
1/2 C Shortening
1/2 C Sugar
1 qt. Water, warm
12 C Flour

Mix all ingredients well. Cover and let rise for 30 minutes. Place on a floured surface and knead for 7 minutes. Shape into loaves or rolls. Bake in a 350-degree oven for 30 minutes.

Yield: 3 large loaves

Chicken Pillows

8-oz Cream Cheese, softened (Neufchatel works great & is a bit healthier)
3 T Butter, melted
2 C Chicken, cooked and cubed
1/4 tsp. Salt
Pepper, to taste
2 T Milk
2 Green Onions, sliced
1 (8-oz) can Crescent Rolls
1 C Ritz crackers, crushed

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Blend cream cheese with butter until smooth.
Add the next six ingredients and mix well.

Separate crescents into 4 rectangles, pressing seams together.
Spoon 1/2 cup chicken mixture in the middle of each rectangle. Pull 4 corners to the top, center of mixture and twist slightly; seal edges by pinching.

Brush tops with remaining butter and sprinkle with cracker crumbs.
Bake on an ungreased cookie sheet for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
