Ingredients

2 c. boiling water
1/2 c. cornmeal
1/3 c. firmly packed brown sugar
2 tsp. salt
2 pkg. dry yeast
1/2 c. warm water (105~ to 115~)
1/4 c. vegetable oil
3/4 c. whole wheat flour
1/2 c. rye flour
4 1/2 to 5 c. all-purpose flour

Preparation

Combine first 4 ingredients in a large mixing bowl; cool to 105\u00b0 to 115\u00b0.
Dissolve yeast in warm water; let stand 5 minutes. Stir yeast mixture and oil into cornmeal mixture.
Add wheat and rye flours, stirring well.
Gradually add enough all-purpose flour to make a stiff dough.
Turn dough out onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic (about 8 minutes).
Place in a well-greased bowl, turning to grease top.
Cover; let rise in a warm place (85\u00b0), free from drafts, 1 hour, or until doubled in bulk.
