OLD-FASHIONED RYE BREAD
Steps:
- Sprinkle yeast into ½ cup of the very warm water; stir in 1 tsp of the molasses. Stir until yeast dissolves. Let stand, undisturbed, to proof until bubbly and double in volume, about 10 minutes. Combine remaining water and molasses with salt and shortening in a large bowl; stir in yeast mixture, rye flour and caraway seeds; add enough all-purpose flour to make a soft dough. Turn out onto lightly floured surface. Knead until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes, using enough of the remaining flour to keep dough from sticking. Place in buttered large bowl; turn dough to bring buttered side up. Cover with towel. Let rise in a warm place, away from draft, 1hour, or until double in bulk. Butter large cookie sheet. Sprinkle lightly with cornmeal. Punch dough down; turn out onto lightly floured surface; knead a few times; invert bowl over dough; let rise 10 minutes. Divide dough in half and knead each half a few times. Shape into 2 loaves. Place at least 4 inches apart on prepared cookie sheet. Let rise again in a warm place, away from draft, 45 minutes, or until double in bulk. Brush tops with water. Bake in 400˚ oven for 35 minutes or until browned and loaves sound hollow when tapped. Remove from cookie sheet to wire rack; cool completely.
