Homemade GoldFish

Set aside for 5-7 minutes. In a bowl, mix together sugar, salt, and shortening. Add softened yeast and half of flour (3 cups). Blend well. Gradually add the remaining flour and continue mixing until dough ceased to stick on the side of the bowl.Transfer dough on a slightly floured board, knead until smooth.
