Whole Wheat Molasses Bread

   Ingredients required
2 3/4 cups whole wheat flour
2 cups white flour
2 packages dry yeast
1 3/4 cup water
1/2 cup molasses
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 tbsp shortening
1 tablespoon of salt

Preheat oven 375 degrees

Instructions for Whole Wheat Molasses Bread

   In a large mixer bowl combine the wheat flour, one cup white flour, and dried yeast. In a saucepan heat water, shortening, molasses, brown sugar and salt until warm, stirring to melt shortening. Add to dry ingredients. Beat 1/2 minute at low speed, then 3 minutes at high speed. By hand add the rest of the white flour to make a dough easy to handle. Knead 8 minutes. Place dough in greased bowl, turning to grease top. Cover with plastic wrap. Let rise until light, 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Punch down. Divide dough in half. Let rest for 10 minutes, covered. Shape into two loaves, cover. Let rise about 45 minutes. Bake at 375 degrees for 30 to 35 minutes. Remove from oiled 8x4 inch or 9x5 inch pans. Grease tops with butter and cool.
