Rye Bread

Mix one quart of milk, one quart of warm water, one-half cup of lard or butter, one yeast cake, one tablespoon of salt, one-third cup of sugar. After this is well mixed, add rye flour until it is as stiff as you can stir with an iron spoon. When light mold into loaves, using wheat flour for this purpose. Let it rise the second time in the tins until sufficiently light to bake. This bread is better not to rise too much and do not have too hot an oven. - Mrs Brewer.
