CLARA'S MOLASSES RYE BREAD 
Heat 2 cups buttermilk until warm and add 1 package active dry yeast. Stir until dissolved. (Aside).

2 c. molasses
1/4 c. Wesson oil

3 c. white, all-purpose flour
3 c. rye flour
2 tsp. salt
2 tbsp. caraway seeds

Stir all ingredients together and knead on floured surface 7-10 minutes. Turn a large buttered bowl over dough and let it rest 10 minutes. Knead thoroughly. Place back in oiled container, cover with oiled Saran Wrap and hot T-towel.

Let rise until double in size. Punch dough down and shape in 3 large OR 4 small loaf pans greased or use Pam. Place on rack in oven - 1 hour or more until done - 350 degrees. May freeze if you can get them wrapped while warm, if they don't eat 'em first!
