--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   1      cup           water
   2      cups          milk
   2      tablespoons   bacon fat
     3/4  cup           dark molasses
   9      cups          flour
   2      cups          sugar
   1      teaspoon      salt
   2      packages      dry yeast

     In saucepan, mix water, milk, bacon fat and molasses. Heat to lukewarm.
Sift 4 cups flour, sugar and salt together. Sprinkle yeast over this. Add the
lukewarm mixture and beat with a mixer until smooth. Gradually add enough of
remaining 5 cups flour, to form a stiff dough. Knead on a floured surface
until dough is no longer sticky. Put the dough in a greased bowl, and place in
a warm place until it has doubled in bulk. Punch down, knead, and shape into 4
loaves. Place in greased loaf pans and let rise again until double in bulk,
about 1 to 1-1/2 hour. Cover and bake at 325 degrees for 1 hour. Remove from
oven. Brush tops with melted multer and allow to stand for 5 minutes. Remove
from pans and cool on wire racks.
