Makes 2 loaves

Combine:
1 cup milk, scalded
1/3 cup shortening
1/2 cup brown sugar
4 tsp. salt

Cool to lukewarm by adding:
1 cup water

Add:
2 pkgs. of yeast or 4 tsp. bulk yeast

Blend in:
2 eggs
3 cups whole wheat four
3 cups all purpose flour

Mix well and place dough in a greased bowl and cover. Store in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight if desired. The reason for chilling the dough is because it’s very soft and hard to shape unless chilled (personally, I just scoop it into a greased loaf pan and set it aside to raise, resulting in a loaf that looks more like a batter bread like zucchini bread or banana bread.) Shape chilled dough into 2 loaves on a well floured surface. Place in greased loaf pans and cover. Let rise in warm place until double in bulk, about 2 hours. Bake at 350 F for 1 hour.
