1 tbsp. salt
3 tbsp. sugar
2/3 c. dry milk
2 1/2 c. water
2 pkg. yeast
3 tbsp. shortening
2 1/2 tbsp. white Karo syrup
2 1/2 tbsp. molasses
1 c. whole wheat flour
1 c. rye flour
4 1/2 c. white flour

Soften yeast in warm (105 degree) water. Add all ingredients except flour and mix well. Add whole wheat and rye flour and stir well. Add white flour until cannot stir in. Knead in enough flour until smooth and satiny, about 10 minutes at least. Round up in greased bowl and let rise in warm place.

Punch down and put into 2 greased 9x5x3 inch loaf pans. Let rise again until double. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes and then at 325 degrees for 20 more minutes or until dark brown and hollow-sounding.
