Whole Wheat Bread  
Harriet Stanley  
½
2
cup warm water  
teaspoons sugar  
1 cup sugar  
4 tablespoons molasses  
2
packages yeast  
1 tablespoon salt  
¾
4
cup shortening (I use Crisco)  
cups warm water  
4 cups whole wheat flour  
8 cups white bread flour  
Mix ½ cup warm water, 2 tsp. sugar, and yeast. Set aside. In a large bowl, mix together  
shortening, 4 cups warm water, 1 cup sugar, molasses, and salt. Add yeast mixture, then  
flours. Work dough well. Put in a warm place to raise ½ hour. Knead down. Let dough raise  
another 45 minutes. Knead down. Let raise another 45 minutes. Shape into bread loaves.  
Put into greased (sprayed) bread pans. Should make six small loaves. Don't make large  
loaves. Let raise approx. 1½ hours. Bake 350º (preheated oven) for about 40 minutes.

4
cups water  
cups sugar  
cup oil  
tablespoons salt  
beaten eggs  
2 ½ packages of yeast  
¼ cup water  
1 cup bran  
11 ½ cups flour  
Boil 4 cups water, 2 cups sugar, and 1 cup oil together for 5 minutes. Cool to luke warm.  
Add 2 Tbsp. salt, 4 beaten eggs, 2 ½ packages of yeast dissolved in ¼ cup water. Add 1  
cup bran flakes and 11 ½ cups flour or enough to make a soft dough. Let raise in a warm  
place. Can be punched down many times. Form buns in evening. Cover with cloth and set  
on counter overnight. Bake at 350º for 10-12 minutes.  
I usually start this mixture at about 4:00 in the afternoon. It works to start in the morning  
and bake when ready in mid afternoon. Can be used to make caramel or cinnamon rolls.  
Quick No-Knead Rolls  
Kathryn Stanley  
¾ cup hot water  
½ cup canned milk  
2 packages yeast  
2 tablespoons sugar  
3 ½ cups flour  
1 teaspoon salt  
Dissolve yeast in water and milk. Add sugar, 1 ½ cups flour, and salt; mix until well mixed.  
Add 2 cups flour, mix well. Let set 5 minutes. Shape into rolls and let raise until double.  
Bake at 350º for 15-20 minutes. I use these when I make harvest soup or beef stew. They  
are easy and good, though they are a heavier roll than ones that raise twice. I double this  
recipe, it makes enough to fit Grama Stanley's old baking pan that Mom Stanley gave to me,  
don't know the size, a little longer than a 9 x 13 pan.
