The recipe for this low-fat bread came from my grandmother. It's now my husband's favorite. Nothing makes the house smell better than the aroma of molasses as this bread bakes.

SERVINGS: 32

CATEGORY: Breads

METHOD: Baked

TIME: Prep: 20 min. + rising Bake: 30 min. + cooling

Ingredients:
2 cups boiling water
1 cup crushed Shredded Wheat cereal
1/2 cup molasses
2 tablespoons shortening
1-1/2 teaspoons salt
1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
1/4 cup warm water (110° to 115°)
5-1/2 to 6-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
Melted butter, optional
Directions:
In a large bowl, pour boiling water over cereal. Add the molasses, shortening and salt. Let stand until mixture cools to 110°-115°, stirring occasionally.
In a bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add cereal mixture and 3 cups flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough (dough will be sticky).
Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide in half. Shape into loaves. Place in two greased 9-in. x 5-in. loaf pans. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour.
Bake at 375° for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to wire racks. Brush with melted butter if desired. Cool. Yield: 2 loaves (16 slices each).

These are in the frig right now.......waiting to be topped and baked tomorrow. I made a double batch. I have part of a batch in a smaller casserole type dish for a friend to try. She is going to be w/her DH's family and they won't try anything if someone outside the family makes it so she's going to claim to compliments! I did tell her one sister-in-law that it would be there and she just has to try it! I can't wait till tomorrow just for these!! YUM! If you've never tried them do yourself a favor and make them ASAP!

1 small onion chopped fine
1 cup grated cheddar cheese (grate you own if possible it's so much better)
