Grain Recipe

Ingredients:
2 cups water
1/2 cup corn meal
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup dark molasses
2 teaspoons salt
2 packages dry granular yeast
1/2 cup lukewarm water
1 tablespoon sugar
6 cups flour
1/4 cup warm melted butter

Directions:
Boil the 2 cups water and gradually add the corn meal in a slow stream, stirring constantly until the mixture is smooth.

Add 2 tablespoons butter, the molasses and salt; let stand until lukewarm. Add the yeast to the 1/2 cup lukewarm water, sprinkle with sugar, cover and let stand until foaming and doubled in volume. Add to corn meal mixture.

Stir in the flour, gradually, just enough to make a stiff dough. Knead well for 10 minutes. Place in a warm greased bowl, cover and let rise until doubled in bulk. Cut through dough several times with a knife. Cover and let rise again for 45 minutes until doubled in bulk.
