Ingredients

    2 tsp. yeast
    1/4 cup warm water
    1/2 cup sugar
    1 egg
    1/2 cup half and half
    1 cup milk, 2%
    1 tsp. salt
    1/4 cup shortening
    4 cups whole wheat flour

Directions

Dissolve yeast in water, add 1/2 cup sugar, and stir a little. Let stand about 10-15 minutes, until it starts to bubble a little.

Scald cup of milk, add shortening and salt, remove from heat. Add well-beaten eggs and 1/2 cup cream. Then add yeast mixture and blend well. Now add only half of sifted flour and blend together. Let rise a little (15 minutes) then add remaining flour. Cover, let rise until double in size. Punch down and allow to rise again. Punch down and allow to rise a third time. Place in loaf pan and bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes until light brown.

Makes one large loaf or two small ones.
