Somewhat light in color, with taste of pure rye. I use Natural Sugar in place of regular Sugar. I also use less salt that most recipes. Very good warm, or toasted.
Ready in: 3 hours 15 mins

Ingredients

Serves: 16

• 3 cups white flour
• 2 regular packages active dry yeast

1. Place white flour, yeast, and salt in large bowl and stir well.
2. Place shortening in bowl and melt. Then place lukewarm water, sugar, and shortening in bowl. Beat hard for 3 minutes!
3. Then combine all of the above ingredients and mix well. Let stand for about 5 minutes.
