Heat oven to 325 degrees. Grease the loaf pans by dipping a paper towel into solid shortening and spreading on bottom and sides of pans. Thoroughly mix everything together in a large mixing bowl with a mixing spoon. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber scraper while mixing. Divide batter between the 2 loaf pans and set timer. Bake on the middle shelf of the oven for 1 1/4 hours. The bread will be done when a toothpick stuck in the center of each loaf comes out clean, with no batter sticking to it. Cool. Remove the bread from pans onto a bread board. Cut it in thin slices with the serrated knife, using a sawing motion.
