3 Packets Yeast

1/2 cup Warm Water

1 TBS Sugar

Stir all together & let sit until foamy. In the meantime mix up the following:

1 Cup Warm Water

1/2 Cup Grandma's Molasses

2 TBS Hershey's Cocoa

1 TBS Salt

2 TBS Vegetable Oil

Stir this together until smooth. Now Stir in 2 Cups Rye Flour & stir smooth.  Stir in the yeast mixture & stir smooth. In a deep bowl stir together 1 & 1/2 Cups Whole Wheat Flour & 1&1/2 Cups White Bread Flour. Now stir this into the above mixture & stir smooth. Work dough & then dump out on flour surface & knead dough until no longer sticky. Grease the deep bowl you used & put dough back into it cover & let rise until double! Now punch down dough & shape into 2 loaves on a greased baking sheet. 

                                                       

        Your loaves should look like this with about 5 to 6 inches between them. Use 2 sheets if you wish so loaves do not touch once risen!

Cover & let loaves rise again to double in size!

Once double bake in  preheated oven of 375 degrees for about 30 minutes or until loaves sound hollow when you tap them! Remove from oven & let cool on wire racks. This makes 2 nice sized loaves! ENJOY!
