• Scald milk. Transfer milk to a large bowl, and add salt, molasses, brown sugar, and melted shortening. Cool to lukewarm, and add dissolved yeast. Add rye flour, beating with mixer. Gradually beat in white flour. Place dough in a greased bowl, and turn to coat the surface. Cover with a damp towel, and allow to rise till double in bulk in a warm place.
• Punch down the dough, and place on a lightly floured board. Knead until dough becomes elastic, and does not stick to the board. Allow to rest for 5 minutes. Divide into 3 equal portions, and shape into loaves. Place in greased 9 x 5 inch bread pans. Let rise until double in bulk.
• Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 35 to 40 minutes.

Steps:

• Bake 375 degrees for 25 minutes.
• As loaves are removed from the oven, brush tops with melted butter to highlight the beautiful nut-brown color.
• For a real treat, top slices with chopped dates and walnuts mixed with cream cheese.

Steps:

• 1. Ground down your Swedish mix and place in an air tight container. (you will have extra)
• 2. Follow instructions for your bread machine, mine says to put all liquids in first then add dry ingredient's.
• 3. Place warm water in the bottom along with the molasses. then add flours, salt in one corner and butter in the other, brown sugar in the other. I sprinkle my Swedish mix and milk in the center before making my dwell for my yeast.
• 4. Set bread machine to your desired settings, and let the machine do its job and you will have a perfect loaf of bread :)
• 5. I pray your family enjoys my great grandmothers recipe that I have grown up on and love so dearly. This makes such a savory loaf of bread and tastes amazing with jams and honey too ! Enjoy!!

Steps:

• In a small bowl or liquid measuring cup, sprinkle yeast over 1/2 cup water. Add 2 teaspoons honey. Whisk until yeast dissolves. Let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes.
• Add remaining 1 3/4 cups water to the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the dough hook attachment, along with remaining 3 tablespoons honey, butter, caraway seeds, and salt. Mix on low to combine. Gradually add both flours, one cup at a time, mixing until dough comes away from sides of bowl and forms a ragged, slightly sticky ball. Butter a large bowl.
• Knead dough on a floured surface until smooth and elastic but still slightly tacky, about 5 minutes. Shape into a ball. Transfer to prepared bowl; cover with plastic wrap.
• Let dough stand in a warm place until it doubled in volume (it should not spring back when pressed), about 1 hour. Butter two 4 1/2-by-8 1/2-inch loaf pans. Punch down dough and divide in half.
• Working with one piece of dough at a time, shape into a 7-by-7-inch square. Fold dough into thirds; press seam to adhere and pinch ends to seal. Place seam-side down in loaf pan. Repeat process with remaining piece of dough.
• In a small bowl, mix egg white with 1 teaspoon water and brush mixture over tops of loaves; sprinkle with caraway seeds.
• Spray two pieces of plastic wrap with nonstick cooking spray; drape loaves with prepared plastic wrap and let stand until dough rises about 1 inch above tops of pans, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 450 degrees on a conventional oven or 425 degrees on a convection oven. Reduce oven temperature to 400 degrees (conventional) or 375 degrees (convection).
• Uncover loaves and transfer to oven. Bake, rotating pans after 20 minutes, until tops are golden brown, about 45 minutes. Transfer to wire racks. Let cool slightly; turn out loaves. Let cool completely before slicing.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place a baking sheet on center rack. Butter four 6-by-3-by-2-inch loaf pans, line with parchment, and butter parchment.
• Mix flours, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and seeds. Cut butter into flour mixture with a pastry cutter or rub in with your fingers, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
• Whisk together yogurt, milk, honey, and eggs. Make a well in center of flour mixture, and pour in yogurt mixture. Stir well to combine (batter will be sticky). Spoon batter into pans, smoothing the tops. Scatter mixed seeds on top of batter.
• Transfer pans to baking sheet, and bake until loaves are slightly cracked and golden brown, about 1 hour. (A skewer inserted into centers should come out clean.) Let cool in pans for 15 minutes. Turn out onto wire racks, and let stand for 2 hours.

Steps:

• Place 1/4 cup warm water in small bowl. Sprinkle yeast over; stir to dissolve. Let stand 5 minutes. Combine remaining 2 cups warm water, 1 cup all purpose flour and 1 cup rye flour in bowl. Add yeast mixture. Mix to blend well. Cover bowl with kitchen towel. Let sponge rise 1 hour.
• Mix sugar, corn syrup, shortening, aniseed, coriander, orange peel and salt into sponge. Gradually mix in enough all purpose flour, 1/2 cup at a time, to form slightly sticky dough. Knead on floured surface until smooth and elastic, adding more flour if sticky, about 10 minutes.
• Lightly oil large bowl. Add dough, turning to coat entire surface. Cover bowl with kitchen towel. Let dough rise in warm draft-free area until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
• Grease 2 cookie sheets. Punch dough down. Turn out onto lightly floured surface and knead until smooth. Divide dough into 3 parts. Pat each piece into 5-inch-diameter round. Place on prepared sheets. Cover and let rise in warm draft-free area until almost doubled, about 40 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350°F Pierce each loaf 5 times with fork. Bake until loaves are brown and sound hollow when tapped on bottom, about 1 hour. Transfer to racks. Brush with butter and cool. Serve warm or at room temperature. (Can be made 1 month ahead. Wrap loaves tightly and freeze. Thaw before serving.).

Steps:

• Put warm water into glass measuring (1) cup and check temperature with thermometer.
• Sprinkle yeast into warm water and let stand.
• In another glass measuring cup (2 cup) place water and Crisco.
• Microwave to hot, to melt fat.
• In a large bowl, combine sugar, molasses, and salt.
• Pour the Crisco water into bowl. (I usually pour it into, over the bowl, the 1/4 measuring cup I had the sugar, then the molasses inches To get all of the goodies into the bowl!).
• Stir until sugar dissolves.
• Cool to lukewarm (85°F It will probably cool to that as you dissolve the sugar, you just don't want to kill the yeast with too high a temp.).
• Stir in rye flour and beat well. (I use my electric hand mixer).
• Add yeast and caraway seed, and mix well.
• Stir in enough regular flour to make a soft dough.
• Cover with clean towel and let rest for 10 minutes.
• Generously sprinkle kneading surface with flour.
• Knead for 10 minutes.
• Place dough in lightly greased bowl and turn to coat all surfaces.
• Cover and let rise in warm draft free space, until doubled, about 2 hours.
• Punch down.
• Turn out onto lightly floured surface.
• Divide in two (I use a bread knife to slice the ball in half).
• Shape each piece into smooth ball, cover, and let rest 10 minutes (this is called proofing).
• Form each into two round loaves, and place on greased baking sheet.
• Cover and let rise in warm place (I put them in oven with the light on) until doubled again, about 1 1/2 hours.
• If you put them in oven to rise, make sure you take them out before lighting oven!
• Bake at 375°F for about 30 minutes.
• If loaves are getting too brown, you may cover with foil near the end of baking.
• Brush tops, when done, with butter for a soft crust.
