This is a recipe for whole wheat bread from my grandma. It's pretty good, especially hot out of the oven with some butter melted on it.

Ingredients
  • 1 tsp white sugar
  • 5 tsp dry yeast
  • 1/2 cup warm water
  • 2 cups hot water
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 3 tbsp shortening
  • 7 cups whole wheat flour

Directions
  1. Prepare yeast and white sugar in warm water.
  2. Dissolve brown sugar, shortening, and salt in hot water and cool. Stir in 2 cups flour and then add the yeast solution. Continue adding flour until the dough is stiff.
  3. Knead dough on a lightly floured board for about 10 minutes, round, and place in a greased bowl. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk, about 1-1 1/2 hours. Punch down, cover, and let rise again until doubled in size, about 1 hour. Divide into two pieces and shape into loaves. Cover and let rise until doubled in bulk, about 1 1/2 hours.
  4. Bake at 375 for 40 to 50 minutes.
