2 c. whole wheat flour
1 c. rye flour
1/3 c. each white and brown sugar
2/3 c. oil or Crisco
1/2 c. molasses
2 tbsp. salt

Mix together in a large bowl and then add 1 quart hot water, not boiling, but hot! Set aside to cool. Mix 2 packages dry yeast with 1/2 cup lukewarm water. Sprinkle with 2 teaspoons sugar. Set aside to rise. When the yeast is active and the flour mixture has cooled to lukewarm, add 2 cups white flour and the yeast; stir. Let this rise for 30 minutes. Add white flour to make a soft dough (about 7 cups or less). Knead the dough until it is smooth; set aside to rise until it is double in size. Cover the dough while it is rising.

Divide into 4 to 5 loaves and place in greased bread pans. Let this rise until double in size. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 to 40 minutes. Raisins, orange peel, or anise can be added to the recipe for a variety of flavors. This bread was a favorite of the campers!
