654.0. "Shredded Wheat Bread Recipe Request" by SAGE::DOWNING (Rena Downing) Fri Jul 17 1987 13:36

    Does anybody have a recipe for bread made with shredded wheat
    (the cereal)????  I remember my mom making it when I was a kid
    and she can't remember where her recipe went to!
                             
    The only thing I remember about it is that she soaked the shredded
    wheat in milk (I think!).
    
    Any help would be appreciated!
    
    Thanks,

This was always one of my favorites -- and it is a simple bread.  My 
grandmother used to make it, lots of pleasant memories...

	3 c. Boiling water poured over
	3 crushed biskets Shredded Wheat
	2 T. Shortening (or bacon fat)
	1 T. Salt
      1/4 c. Molasses
	1 pkg dry yeast dissolved in
      1/2 c. lukewarm water
      7-8 c. Flour
	  melted butter

Combine ingredients adding only as much flour as necessary, knead until smooth
and elastic, let rise until doubled.  Shape into 2 loafs -- place in loaf
pans.  Let double again, brust to with melted butter, and bake in a 350 degree
oven about 1 hour. 


Enjoy,    Eliot
