Time 2h45m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup bite size frosted wheat cereal
1 cup brown sugar
½ cup shortening
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup boiling water
2 (.25 ounce) packages active dry yeast
1 cup warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
2 eggs
6 cups bread flour

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine cereal, brown sugar, shortening and salt. Pour boiling mixture over mixture. Let cool to room temperature.

  • Combine cereal and yeast mixtures. Add eggs and two cups flour; mix well. Stir in the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, beating well after each addition. When the dough has pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes.

Cover the loaves with a damp cloth and let rise until doubled in volume, about 40 minutes. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Bake in preheated oven until brown, about 30 minutes. Remove from pans and let cool on a wire rack.
