Cereal Bread

Ingredients

  • bite-size frosted wheat cereal (1 cup)
  • brown sugar (1 cup)
  • shortening (0.5 cup)
  • salt (1 teaspoon)
  • boiling water (1 cup)
  • active dry yeast (2 packages)
  • warm water (1 cup)
  • eggs (2 )
  • bread flour (6 cups)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine cereal, brown sugar, shortening, and salt. Pour boiling water over mixture. Let cool to room temperature.
  2. In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes.
  3. Combine cereal and yeast mixtures. Add eggs and 2 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.
  4. 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 1 hour.
  5. Deflate the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide the dough into two equal pieces and form into loaves. Place the loaves into two lightly greased 9x5-inch loaf pans. 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).
  6. Bake in preheated oven until brown, about 30 minutes. Remove from pans and let cool on a wire rack.
