Anise Rye Bread - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 1/4 cups water
1 teaspoon caraway seed
1 teaspoon anise seed
2 tablespoons molasses
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon shortening
2 teaspoons yeast
3 1/2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups rye flour

Preparation

Boil water, caraway and anise seeds for 5 minutes.
When warm add molasses, brown sugar, and shortening.
Add yeast.
Mix in flour and salt.
Let rise 1-1/2 hours in a warm place.
Add rye flour gradually. If sticky add more flour; rye soaks up water slower than regular flour so hold off a scooch.
Let rise again.
Form into 2 loaves; let rise.
Bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 45 minutes.
