Directions

  1. Dissolve yeast in warm water.

  2. 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.

  3. Use a wooden spoon to mix in the remaining rye flour. Add white flour by stirring until the dough is stiff enough to knead.

  4. Knead 5 to 10 minutes, adding flour as needed. If the dough sticks to your hands or the board add more flour.

  5. Cover dough and let rise 1 to 1 1/2 hours or until double.

  6. Punch down dough and divide to form two round loaves. Let loaves rise on a greased baking sheet until double, about 1 1/2 hours.

  7. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Bake for 30 to 35 minutes.

Recipe Yield

2 loaves

Recipe Note

Nothing smells better than home-baked bread--this is a hearty bread, great with mustard, corned beef, Swiss cheese, and sauerkraut.
