Whole Wheat Bread
1 pint milk, or milk and water
Wheat Bread
2 tablespoons molasses
2 tablespoons shortening
2 teaspoons salt
1 yeast cake
1/4 cup lukewarm water
About 6 cups whole wheat flour
Scald milk and shortening together. Let cool until lukewarm. Add salt and molasses. Dissolve the yeast cake in the lukewarm water, and then add to the milk and shortening mixture.
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour with the first mixture. Stir in well. Knead until smooth and elastic. Cover closely and allow dough to rise until it has doubled in bulk.
Divide the dough into two portions and form the two portions into loaves. Place loaves in greased bread pans. Allow them to rise again until they have doubled again in bulk.
Bake at 350 degrees for 45 to 60 minutes.
Tips
When baking whole wheat bread, the dough should be a little softer than for white bread. The baking time is also a little slower. Also, if using dry yeast, almost twice as much time must be allowed for the rising as compared to using compressed yeast.

2 3/4 cups bread crumbs
