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 cup 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’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.
