2 c. scalded milk
2 c. warm water
1/2 c. brown sugar
1/3 c. molasses
1/3 c. lard
2 tsp. salt
2 cakes yeast, dissolved in a little warm water
3 c. rye flour
3 c. white flour (plus a little extra)

Mix first 6 ingredients. When lukewarm add yeast in water. Beat well. Add flours, sifted together. Add enough white flour to make smooth stiff dough. Raise in warm place until double; punch down, raise again until light. Form into 4 small or 3 medium loaves in greased loaf pans. Bake at 375 degrees until done (approximately 40 to 50 minutes).
