2/3 c Water
3 pk Yeast
1 tb Sugar
8 c Scalded Milk
2/3 c Shortening
1 c Sugar
1/2 c Molasses
2 tb Salt
12 c Whole Wheat Flour
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.
