Grandma Fant's Rye Bread

 
This is real Swedish rye. Quite different from the New York delicatessen rye. Made by Renee’s Swedish Grandmother from Indiana.

2 cups warm water or milk
1⁄4 cup molasses
1⁄2 cup sugar
1⁄2 cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons shortening
2 packages yeast
2 1⁄2 cups rye flour
white flour to work with dough

Combine water or milk and shortening and heat until warm. In large bowl mix rye four, sugar, salt and yeast. Gradually pour warm liquid into dry ingredients. Add molasses. Add enough white flour to make dough workable. Knead until light and elastic. Let rise in greased bowl until double in bulk. Divide in half and knead again and let rise until doubled. Put in a greased bread pan. Prick a few holes on the top of the loaves and brush with melted butter. Bake at 350º for 45 to 60 minutes.
