Ingredients:


2 packages yeast -- active dry

1 1/2 cups milk -- lukewarm

2 tablespoons sugar

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup molasses

2 tablespoons butter

3 1/4 cups rye flour -- unsifted

2 1/2 cups bread flour -- unsifted
 

Preparation / Directions:


Dissolve yeast in warm water. In a large bowl combine milk, sugar, and salt. Use a mixer to beat in molasses, butter, yeast mixture and 1 cup of rye flour. Use a wooden spoon to mix in the remaining rye flour. Add white flour by stirring until the dough is stiff enough to knead. Knead 5 to 10 minutes, adding flour as needed. If the dough sticks to your hands or the board add more flour. Cover dough and let rise 1 1 1/2 hours or until double. Punch down dough and divide to form 2 round loaves. Let loaves rise on a greased baking sheet until double, about 1 1/2 hours. Preheat oven to 375F. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes. Makes 2 round loaves.
