1/2 c. cornmeal
2 c. boiling water
2 tbsp. shortening
1/2 c. molasses
1 tsp. salt
1 pkg. yeast, dissolved in cup warm water
5 c. flour

Stir cornmeal in cold water, cook until thick, add shortening, salt, molasses. Cool to lukewarm. Add yeast dissolved in warm water. Add enough flour to make stiff dough. Knead well. Raise until dough in bulk.

Shape into 2 loaves. Bake 1 hour. (Dot bakes in an old fashioned stove - 400 degrees - however, this will more likely be 350 degrees in a regular oven).
