Sour Milk Rye Bread


From the Kitchen of:  Helen
Source:  The Book of Whole Grains

Heat sour milk, molasses, butter, and salt together in a saucepan until butter melts. Pour into a large bowl and cool to lukewarm. Dissolve yeast in 1/4 cup lukewarm water(in the same cup used to measure the molasses). Add to milk mixture when it has cooled. Stir in whole wheat flour; beat well 300 strokes. Let batter stand, covered, 1 hour. Stir in rye flour, kneading when dough becomes too stiff to stir. Knead dough well, until smooth and pliable. Form into 2 loaves. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise 1 hour. Bake at 350F for 1 hour. Remove from tins and cool on a rack.
