                                          • For best results, all ingredients and utensils should be at room temperature.
                                          • Dissolve dry yeast in warm water (110 °F). Let stand for 4–5 minutes. Set aside for step 5.
                                          • Place flour, dry milk, sugar, and salt in a commercial mixer (batch as needed). Using a dough hook attachment, mix on low speed for 2 minutes. Leave dry ingredients in mixer.
                                          • Add water and mix for 1 minute on low speed.
                                          • Add dissolved yeast and mix for 2 minutes on low speed.
                                          • Add shortening, and mix for 2 minutes on low speed.
                                          • Knead dough for 8 minutes on medium speed or until dough is smooth and elastic.
                                          • Place dough in a warm area (about 90 °F) for 45–60 minutes.
                                          • Punch dough to remove air bubbles and let rest for 15 minutes.
                                          • After 15 minutes, begin shaping dough on a lightly floured surface.
                                            For 25 servings, shape about 3 lb dough into a smooth, 24"-long loaf.
                                            For 50 servings, divide dough into 2 pieces, about 3 lb each.
                                            Shape each piece into a smooth, 24"-long loaf.
                                          • Place loaf lengthwise in a loaf pan (20³⁄4" x 6 7⁄16") lightly coated with pan-release spray and sprinkled with 1 Tbsp cornmeal.
                                            For 25 servings, use 1 pan.
                                            For 50 servings, use 2 pans.
                                          • Place loaf pans in a warm area (about 90 °F) until double in size for 30–50 minutes.
                                          • Brush top of each loaf with water. Using scissors or a very sharp knife, cut 5–6 diagonal slits ¹⁄4" deep on top of each loaf.
                                          • Bake until browned:
                                            Conventional oven: 400 °F for 25 minutes.
                                            Convection oven: 350 °F for 20 minutes.
                                          • Remove from oven.
                                          • (Optional) Combine spices and oil in a small bowl. Stir well. Spread oil mixture evenly over loaf.
                                          • Allow bread to come to room temperature before cutting.
                                          • Portion: Cut each loaf into 25 slices, 7⁄8" thick.
