Ingredients

30 servings

  • 1.5 cups milk
  • 1 ounce compressed fresh yeast
  • 1.5 cups warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 0.33329999446869 cup melted shortening
  • 0.25 cup molasses
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 3 cups rye flour
  • 6 cups bread flour

Instructions

  • Scald milk in a small saucepan over medium heat until it begins to bubble, about 3 minutes. Cool to lukewarm.
  • While milk is cooling, dissolve yeast in warm water in a bowl. Let stand until yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam, about 5 minutes.
  • Transfer milk to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough attachment. Add brown sugar, melted shortening, molasses, and salt; mix until well combined. Mix in yeast mixture. Gradually mix in rye flour, then bread flour until combined; you may need to mix by hand if your stand mixer isn't large enough.
  • Transfer dough to a greased bowl and turn to coat the surface. Cover with a damp towel and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
  • Punch down dough and transfer to a lightly floured board. Knead until dough is elastic and does not stick to the board. Let rest for 5 minutes. Divide into thirds and shape into loaves. Place each loaf in a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan. Cover with a damp towel and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, 30 to 45 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Bake loaves in the preheated oven until golden brown on top, 35 to 40 minutes.
