15 minutesCooking time:
10 minutesYeast purchased in bulk costs a fraction of what it does packed in little envelopes and lasts almost indefinitely in the refrigerator. Use 2 scant teaspoons of bulk yeast in recipes that call for 1 envelope of dry yeast.

Directions
1
Preheat oven to 400°F. Combine yeast and warm water in a small bowl. Combine flour, salt and sugar in a medium bowl.

Cut shortening into flour mixture with a pastry blender or two knives until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add buttermilk and yeast mixture to flour mixture; stir until moistened.
3
Sprinkle a clean, flat work surface lightly with flour. Knead dough lightly on floured surface for 1 to 2 minutes, until dough is no longer sticky.
