Old recipe dating back to the 1930's. Lots of fiber and lots of flavor! If necessary, one tablespoon of active dry yeast can be substituted for the compressed fresh yeast in this recipe.

Time 4h15m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 ¼ cups boiling water
3 large shredded wheat cereal biscuits
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons shortening
½ cup molasses
1 (0.6 ounce) cake compressed fresh yeast
¼ cup warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
8 ¼ cups sifted all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, pour the boiling water over the biscuits Stir in salt, shortening and molasses. Cool to lukewarm.
  • In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add this to the lukewarm biscuit mixture. Stir in the flour, 1 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 supple, about 8 minutes. Lightly oil a large bowl, place the dough in the bowl and turn to coat with oil. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 2 hours.
  • Deflate the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide the dough into three equal pieces and form into loaves. Place the loaves into two lightly greased 9x5 inch loaf pans. Brush tops of loaves with 1 tablespoon vegetable oil. Cover the loaves with a damp cloth and let rise until doubled in volume, about 1 hour. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Bake in preheated oven for 45 minutes, until bottom of loaves sound hollow when tapped.

Overall, this is a good recipe for a simple and easy cereal bread. With a few tweaks, it could be even better.

This bread was a bit dry for my taste. I think I would add some more liquid next time, like milk or yogurt.

I had some trouble getting the bread to rise properly. I think I might have added too much flour.

This bread is a bit too sweet for my taste, but it's still a good recipe. I might try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

This cereal bread was a hit with my family! It was so moist and flavorful, and the shredded cereal added a nice crunch. I will definitely be making this again.
