Limpa Rye Bread


Mix together: 1/3 c. vegetable oil
3/4 c. molasses
2 t. salt
2 c. rye flour
2 c. boiling water

Set mixture aside to cool.

In mixing bowl, combine cooled molasses mixture, 1 T. yeast dissolved in 1/2 c. water, and 6 c. flour. Knead well (5 minutes in a stand mixer or 10 minutes by hand). Let rise twice.

Mold into 3 round loaves and let rise until double. Bake at 300 for 30-35 minutes. Brush loaves with butter when you take them out of the oven. Allow to cool before cutting.

Where do you find rye flour? I have wanted to make this per Jessie's recommendation for so long but can never find it!
