Directions
Dissolve yeast in warm water.
In a large bowl combine milk, sugar, and salt. Use a mixer to beat in molasses, butter, yeast mixture and 1 cup of rye flour. Use a wooden spoon to mix in the remaining rye flour. Add white flour by stirring until the dough is stiff enough to knead. Knead 5 to 10 minutes, adding flour as needed.
If the dough sticks to your hands or the board add more flour. Cover dough and let rise 1 1½ hours or until double. Punch down dough and divide to form 2 round loaves. Let loaves rise on a greased baking sheet until double, about 1½ hours.
Preheat oven to 375℉ (190℃). Bake for 30 to 35 minutes. Makes 2 round loaves.
