  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   1      package       active dry yeast
   2 1/4  cups          warm water
   4      tablespoons   corn oil
     1/4  cup           sugar
     1/2  cup           molasses
   1      teaspoon      salt
   2      cups          rye flour
   5      cups          white flour
   1                    egg -- slightly beaten

Dissolve yeast in 1/4 cup of lukewarm water. Combine 2 cups water with corn
oil, sugar, molasses, and salt. Add dissolved yeast and mix well. Stir in rye
and white flours. Turn out on well-floured surface. Cover and let rest 10
minutes. Knead until dough is smooth and satiny -- around 10 minutes. Place in
lightly greased bowl. Cover and let rise in warm place until double -- about
1-1/2 to 2 hours. Punch down, cover and let rise until almost double, about 30
minutes.

Turn out on lightly floured surface and divide in two equal parts; form into
balls. Cover and let rest 15 minutes. Shape into two round loaves, place on
greased baking sheets, cover, and let rise until almost double, about 1 hour.
Brush loaves with slightly beaten egg. Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes.
Remove to racks to cool.
