1 c. scalded milk
2 tbsp. shortening
1 pkg. yeast
2 c. unsifted rye flour
1 tbsp. salt
3 tbsp. molasses or sorghum
4 c. sifted all purpose flour

Dissolve the yeast in 1 cup lukewarm water. Add salt, shortening, and molasses to hot milk; cool then add yeast and water to this. Then add the flour.

Knead 5 minutes. Let rise again. (Grease the top of our dough and cover. Let it rise in a warm place.) Then divide into 2 parts, let rest 15 minutes.

Make into 2 loaves; place in a greased cookie sheet. Just before placing in oven, beat an egg white, add a little water, and brush top of loaves with it. Make 3 or 4 diagonal slices across top of each loaf.

Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes. Grease all over immediately upon taking from oven.
