SWEDISH RYE BREAD 
1 1/2 c. stone ground rye flour
4 1/2 c. boiling water
1/4 c. corn oil plus 1/2 of a 1/4 c. more
1/2 c. honey
1 tbsp. salt
1/2 c. dark molasses
2 1/2 c. flour (unbleached white)

Scald flour with boiling water. Add oil, honey, salt and molasses. Cool a little. Add flour and add yeast mixture. Let raise 1 to 1 1/2 hours, then make hard with 9 cups flour (more or less). Use butter to grease bowl and hands. Let raise 2 hours or double. Punch down. Raise 45 minutes more. Roll on floured board and shape into loaves. Put in greased pans. Let raise 1 1/2 hours or double. Bake. I use 335 oven for about 45-60 minutes. Makes about 6 loaves.
