2 tbsp. sugar
1 tbsp. salt, heaping
1 pt. milk and 1 pt. water (or 1 qt. milk)
1 1/2 qts. Bohemian rye flour
3/4 lb. brown sugar
1/4 lb. butter
3 tbsp. Crisco, heaping
2 oz. cake compressed yeast
White flour

Mix sugar, salt, milk and water together. Heat until lukewarm, add compressed yeast. Let stand until yeast comes to the top. Add this mixture to the rye flour. Let raise about 1 hour in a warm place. Mix brown sugar, melted butter and Crisco together and add to above mixture. Mix down with hands, coat hands with enough white flour so the dough won't stick to your hands, but no more, or your bread will be heavy. Let raise 1 hour in warm place. Put into bread pans and let raise another 20 to 25 minutes. Bake at 425 degrees for 10 minutes and then 375 degrees for about 50 minutes. Makes 4 loaves.
