2/3 c Water 1 c Sugar
3 pk Yeast 1/2 c Molasses
1 tb Sugar 2 tb Salt
8 c Scalded milk 12 c Whole wheat flour
2/3 c Shortening
Dissolve yeast in 2/3 c water while your milk is cooling. Dissolve
1 cup sugar in the hot milk. Stir all ingredients in large bowl,
turn out and knead about 5 minutes, adding flour if needed. Knead
about 5 minutes.
Let rise until doubled in bulk, about 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Knead down
and shape into 6 loaves, let rise until doubled in pans. Bake at 375
degrees F. for 40 minutes. Turn out on wire rack and let cool to
cold before slicing, if you can.
NOTE: Raisins and/or walnuts can be added for a change. Also this
bread freezes well.
