Ingredients:

  • 3 tsp salt
  • 3 tbsp sugar
  • 2 (1/4 oz) packets dry yeast (appx 5 tsp)
  • 5 cups warm water
  • 3 3/4 tbsp shortening (joan uses oil)
  • 9 cups white flour
  • 3 1/4 cups rye flour

Directions:

  1. Joan's directions were:
  2. 4 loaves; Bake 40 minutes at 375 degrees.
  3. Let rise, punch down and let rise again.
  4. When I called her to ask for clarity, she said she just mixes it all together, kneads until elastic and then lets it rise. Sometimes use more water, sometimes less flour - Sometimes it takes half the day to rise, depending on how cold the house is - When doubled, punch down and rise again. After comparing to some other directions, I'm thinking you may need more yeast too! She also said she'd put two loaves together in a 9X13 pan when baking.
